I have a 2012 1500 with a 4inch procomp spacer kit with bils up front set to to 1.2 to level out the truck. my steering wanders left and right when I drive and im thinking that it could be blown ball joints. does anyone have any insight as to what it could be?? ill post some pictures of the upper control arm angles later. truck has 127k miles on it and I have no clue as to when the ball joints were replaced last

Could be ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rods, steering rack, or your alignment.

Failed rear control arm bushings can cause a wandering behavior as well though that will more prevalent uppon acceleration/decceleration events.
