Thought it might be the steering stops, so I greased those up, but still getting the noise. Thinking it might be the wheel bearings.
Any input or advice as to what it could be would be appreciated?

Jack up the front end and with hands at 12 and 6, see if there is any movement in the wheels.
If so, probably the bearing(s). I had this on my drivers front that was progressively getting louder over the last couple of months (338000 kms on the truck so definitely time to change) Ordered two new complete assemblies for about $400 CAD and just replaced both this past weekend.
Very straightforward job. Driver's side took about 2.5 hours, making sure I was not forgetting any steps. Passenger took about an hour.
Some will same to get new bearings and get them pressed in but that seemed too much of a hassle, considering that the assemblies are plug and play.
