Don't For Get To Check Out Your Shocks. Mines Drifts Pretty Good Similar To What Your Talking About Dad Said Might Be Shocks. Noticing On The Bumps Almost A Bottom Out Type Of Feel. Swishy Swashy Driving Too. 62k On The Ticker Stock Suspension. Time For Tires Too.

Are you in Minnesota?

That sounds like what my truck did after I rotated the tires.
They were Yokohama Geolanders 2's, I put them on new and had no problems, until I had them rotated front to back. It felt like it would catch a rut or groove in the road and follow that instead of tracking straight.
Most of these ruts or grooves were not really visible, not like they were big and obvious.
Do you know anybody you can swap front wheels&tires with for a day? A quick road test would answer the tire question.
