I want to start planning a researching some major steering upgrades.....a recenty tow with my truck was not too nice, truck just wandered all over the road
My steering over these last two months is sloppy and not what it used to be...iI am thinking parts are just worn at 85,000 miles, especially with 37s.
I am thinkin about a Borgeson Box:

But for some reason it cannot be used with a lift kit requiring a drop pitman arm??
Souce Auto says yes it can:

So, I hear that Redhead is the next best option:

I am also going to upgrade to either Carli or Dyntrac Ball Joints, with a possibility of a free spin hub conversion kit

Dynatrac Ball Joints:

Now, what about the actual steering parts........like the linkage. Is the new design the 110% fix or is aother setup better?

Upgraded Mopar Linkage Kit:

I am also going to tack weld the track bar drop bracket to the cross member in a few locations, so it cannot move
Anything else I should look at or consider?
