Lightbulb Steering Q's

Have had a 83 K10 for many years, pretty much sits sheltered till summer.. used for camping and abit of minor towing.

two years ago I put a mild lift in (ord's rear shackle flip) and some hd springs front/rear. About 4" running 33s. Ride is great and the height is perfect making it very capable for around the backroads in my area.

But this summer I have had major steering issues.. super sloppy.. replaced the box.. pretty much everything new inners/outers pitman etc etc And after only 3 months it seems to have gone sloppy again.

SO my question, is it worth the upgrade to go with a x-over steering setup, similar to the one ORD offers? Anyone have any other suggestions to make the stock push-pull system work better?

I didn't think I would need a x-over system running 33s on the stock 10bolt coporate... 4.10 gearing... I do not do any hardcore wheeling / rockcrawling.

Thanks in advance to anyones input!
