I recently went from the stock 20s to the 22x10 SRT wheels and noticed that my steering has quite a bit of play at higher speeds generally over 60-65mph is when it's mostly noticeable. Any thoughts?

Same here, I just put some taller tires on and I notice it an 30 and over, pretty sure my inner and outer tie rods are due for replacement. I can't see what you have because of the way this stupid mobile website is set up, but if you have a new 4th Gen I would say all that stuff is still good. Going to the SRT wheels from factory will take some adjustment to get used to as they are taller and wider and you will feel the road a bit more.

I will be installing a steering stabilizer soon on mine to compensate for leveling kit and taller tires

I'm lowered on belltech 2.5/5 tire height is about the same jus a bit wider. Truck only has 19k miles so I doubt tie rods ate shot...let me know what steering stabilizer option you are referring to if you don't mind. BTW I'm also a 4x2 1500 noticed most stabalizer say 4x4 2500/3500

They don't make stabilizer kits for IFS steering, just solid axle. The only IFS kits I've ever seen were on lifted vehicles that were an add-on option. I can't really find anything that fits my needs so I will be custom fabbing my own brackets and buy a couple stabilizers to mount up.
