Thanks for the replies guys! Heard from my mechanic today, he took a look over the whole truck, said that the sway bar end links had to be replaced (both) and he also said that he was replacing something else, didn't catch what though, I was going in and out of service on my phone. He said it'll cost about $150 for parts and labor. A tad expensive but at least I know now what the problem was, so if it happens again, I can fix it myself. The leveling kit is staying on for now. Truck won't be done till tomorrow because he had to get parts. He told me that he probably changes about 3-4 of these a week on various vehicles and it was a relatively common problem. Good to know!

So it turns out the the part I need is on National Backorder and is not available from the dealership at the moment. Sucks. Anyway, my mechanic told me that if I could find it online somewhere, to buy it and he would install it. I went to Rock Auto but not sure what part I need. Can anyone give me the part # on which one of these I need:

Thanks fellas!

EDIT: For some reason that link doesnt bring up the Tie Rod End parts I had pulled up. Idk?

You need the DEEZA Part # DDL637 Front Sway Bar Link.

It is filed uner Suspension > Stabalizer Bar Link > DEEZA FRONT DDL637.

Its the only aftermarket brand that makes a FRONT end link.

Those end-links seem to always be on national backorder. They were last time I needed one and I had to call 5 dealers to find one in stock then drive an hour one way to get it.
