Overall, what size tire are you running? What sort of wheeling do you do? Do you have a steering maintenance program?

Oh, Im not confused or concerned about the how and the why this happened. I know why. Hell, its not even the 1st time. I wheel the crap out of my truck, thats what it for, it still drives me home from the ORV park every time....so far. (knock on wood)

Just like everything 4x4, you break it, you fix it better and so on...
As far what kind of wheeling? I probably wheel it harder that most "full size-ers", but Im not some throttle jockey thrasher either. I respect my equiptment and know its limits and rarely go beyond them. Like I said its all for fun. Check out this video, you'll see what kind of wheeling I do. Theres some good shots of me about 2 minutes in. Thanks everyone for thier input! You guys all kick-ass.
