Guys I need to inspect my suspension. I am not sure where to start?

This is the first GM IFS I have ever owned.

In the past I would grab the tires top and bottom to check wheel bearings.

On cars with Rack and pinion I would grab the front tires and move the wheels from left to right, listening for popping or noise.

On the old Bronco loose tie rods and balljoint are pretty easy to spot as well.

Just not sure how to inspect the 2500? The truck steers down the road pretty good, so I am sure there is nothing to severe/obvious.

I am at 44K and going to go to 285's. I want to have everything in good shape and aligned. What can I do to inspect and R&R?
