Where should I start looking? Steering has about 2" of play in it.

Tie rod ends for sure, and any intermediate links with the steering linkages. Would be a good time to inspect the upper/lower ball joints on the arms as well.

Never did this before, what should I be looking for?

I expect some wear issues since truck has 105k and a 6" lift. If the parts aren't too expensive I wouldn't mind changing them all out, depending on how hard it is to do.
