Default Front End Overhaul, parts list review please.

So I posted this on cumminsforums but there doesn't seem to be as many active members.

Hey guys, little background about my truck. 01 2500 4x4 Cummins, auto, 170k currently. Purchased from an old man. Nice truck but had never really had any parts thrown at it. Since I got it, it has had a
new steering box,
factory style track bar
bilstein steering stabilizer
4th gen steering setup, mopar(biggest improvement yet!!)
Kore 3" leveling coils and bilstein shocks up front
new front brakes
new tires, Goodyear duratracs 285/16

Now I still can't go over 65mph without shaking, very annoying
I have noise in the front end when turning, brakes or not being applied (assuming bearings). Tired of issues so I am spending some money and replacing almost everything else!! So my list as of now is as follows.

x2 Timken wheel hubs(rock auto) Ordered
Upper and lower Moog fixed ball joints (oreillys, lifetime warr) Non-adjustable
x2 Front axel u-joints, precision (oreillys, lifetime warr)
maxlinks from geo's sway bar end links, ordered
matching rear bilstein shocks, have and will install
Ruske upper and lower control arms, struggling with, a lot of $ but I am thinking fixed uppers and adjustable lowers.
Ordered a heavy duty Milwaukee 18v Impact, been needing one anyways.

Only other thing I would like possibly would be an adjustable track bar, hate to spend the money though. The one on there is only maybe 10-15K on it. I did see a drop link or something that relocated your track bar for 1-3" of lift. Can't remember where but it sounded like a inexpensive fix.

So what am I missing or not thought about? I work in ND and live in MO so I am trying to have everything ready for when I get home in 2 weeks. Planning on renting a puller for the ball joints. I am tired of spending money on maint. Was saving for a fuel system so I can run a programmer! Never had one on it yet! Sad

Thank you for any help!
