Default '08 4x4 1500 Laramie front-end wobble

I have an '08 4x4 Laramie quad cab with a 5.7L hemi. This has the rack and pinion steering, so it doesn't have the same "wobble" issue as the 2500 with the steering box.

When I'm driving highway speeds over rough roads, the front-end wobbles and jumps around dangerously. Is it likely the struts and shocks causing this? The truck has about 150K miles. I wanted a second or 6th opinion before dumping $460-$500 on a round of Ranchos.

Thanks!

Ball joints. Tie rods. Could be a bad rack.
