I have replaced the front spindle hubs twice now. A new set of shocks have been put on it. Two sets of new tires. There is nothing loose that I have ever been able to find. I have however been noticing and suspecting that the front of my truck may be a little bit lower than it used to be. I am now thoroughly convinced it is either because the torsion bars are weak or the tires need to be toed in just a little. I'm going for the torsion bar adjustment first because I can see where the camber is wider at the bottom and is even more apparent when more weight is in the truck.

If you have your manual it will show not to change tire size as it changes the stability of the vehicle
