I've got my 2000 F250 4x4 scattered all over the shop right now trying to solve the same problem. The bad behavior became noticeable after putting new tires on it too. My most prominent wander in the road was on acceleration and deceleration. Power on would turn left, power off would turn right. A hilly road with a heavy trailer would be an adventure. Thinking it was the tires, I borrowed a set off another truck for a try. It seemed better but was still loose. The only obvious problem I found was a little slack in a ball joint but not enough to cause this problem.
I tackled the rear suspension first. Found some slack in the left spring bushings that I thought could be the problem. Changed all the spring bushings, sway bar bushings and shocks. This improved things but still had some wander.
Took the front end apart last weekend and have found several problems that could add to its problems. U-bolts were loose, spring and track bar bushings looked rough, the track bar mount to front axle was cracked, ball joints were pretty free, and the Pittman arm on the steering box was a little loose. None of these were obvious or visible until I took them apart. I'm changing everything that moves in the front end now. Should have the rest of the parts in today and hope to have it ready for a test-drive this weekend.
I haven't found any one thing that was bad enough to cause all the problems but a bunch of little thing that could all contribute.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
