Front end shimmy(kinda)

I just finished getting the front end of my truck redone, everything from control arm bushings, to the centerbar link was replaced. Also the tires are brand new bfg radials (10" wide). Now the front end feels worlds different, but i brought the truck up to 100 today and it was all over the road. Felt like the front end was still loose... I understand this isnt a sportscar im dealing with, but i do have a brand new front end and new swaybar installed also. Should i take it back to the shop, or leave well enough alone? And just for the sake of arguement lets assume i accomplished 100 mph on a drag strip and not on public roads..... because i dont condone speeding on public roads....

Check that your drag link has been put in the right way as they can be installed back to front
