Default wandering down the road!

So my 99 Disco 2 has recently started to wander on the road, especially if I have a cross wind. I know that this is not typical, because it just started recently. I have both ACE and SLS. Suspension is stock and original, and truck is at 135k miles. I have 245/75/16 10 ply tires. It gets primarily highway use, with dirt roads once or twice a year (I think I had it on an actual trail once).

My question is where to start? Should I just start replacing shocks, springs, steering damper, etc, knowing that they need to be replaced anyway. Or is it worth taking it into a suspension shop for a professional opinion of the problem? What about all thebushings and assorted ball joints in the suspension and steering?

If you scroll down in the forum about 4 post the one that says "99 Disco Floats" is mine. I have the same problem. I have converted to coil springs but that is not when the problem started. If you come up with a good answer let me know. DiscoMike told me to give him a call about mine but I have been really busy. Let me know what you find out. Also, this is starting to sound like a common problem

all that stuff you stated is probably shot. springs and shocks are pretty easy to do at home. if the tie rod ends arent rusted to the rods, that can be done at home too. some bushings can be changed at home but the rest need a press.
