I will let you know.
Mine I noticed the day I had new tires put on. But I probably started way before that.
well I just started and it seems to be going away now. Who new a bottle of rum would fix everything. What a waste of $1200

In my experience, sway-bar end-links won't cause shaking. You get sort of a jerk/clunk as the truck lays over in a corner and tries to engage the sway bar to transfer load to the unloaded side of the suspension.
I would get the tie-rods on ASAP! SBELs can be installed without even jacking up the truck if you are nimble and haven't lowered the beast.
SBELs generally go when shocks/struts have been left too long - the increased activity on them is too much - their only real job is to transfer load to the opposite side in a corner, springs are made softer to make the ride more comfortable, which is too soft for cornering, but when cornering, only the outside spring system is really working, so the sway bar transfers some of the load to the opposite side and makes it corner better.
If the tie-rod ends aren't too rusty, they are an easy job - there are very good install videos/how-toos out there. GIVER!

The only reason I'm doing my sway bar links is because the bushings on one side are splitting and cracking on the other side. No I would never buy a truck and drop it lol. I would have bought a car other wise lol.
ok i will do my tie rods this weekend if I get some time. Tie rods dont look to hard. I dont think they were that rusty if at all
