Unhappy 1" lift causing problems...

I recently replaced the springs in my 2wd and auto zone had ordered me 1" lift coil spring boots. I didn't really want them, but I already had my truck tore apart, so I put them on anyways... Yet now it rides worse then ever! It's sooo bumpy, sometimes noisy, wobbly, and when I crank the wheel all the way I can hear a whine/grind noise coming from what i'm guessing is the tie-rod or ball joint area...

recently replaced: ball joints, upper control arms, tie rod ends, swaybar links, and didnt have this problem before, just seemed like suspension was getting saggy in front.

I know I need a new idler arm, but I am certain there is more to this then that...

any help would be much much appreciated!
