You probably over adjusted your box, like was stated before.
No offense, but on the overbudget part, its because you threw parts at the problem. Many times you can rule out things like ball joints, etc. with proper diagnosis.
For example, you can easily check the ball joints by jacking up one side, grabbing the tire at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions and trying to wiggle it while having someone watch the joints. If they exhibit play then they need replaced, if not move on to some other possible cause.
Like I said, not trying to bust your *****, just trying to give advice to save you money next time. I've been through the throwing parts at the problem phase and it does eat the bank account pretty fast.
Good luck

even if it was i bought all new tires and made those suspension mods so the truck should be fine. I wonder if the problem could be an overadjustment of the steering gear,a broken stearing gear box, or problems with the power steering not havng full pressure.
