I recently installed a steering damper to take some of the bounce out of the steering (road feedback) from the 31" tires I'm running. It also dampens feeling and reaction a bit, but makes the truck feel safer at highway speed.
I can see this setup working quite well for a 4x4 application. The Ford truck crowd still uses the toyota p/s box, so kits and parts are probably still out there.

Good tip on the toyota box OctaneJunkie. Thanks. Of course I had san 84 toyota here a few years ago and let it go. Wish I hadn't because it looks like I could use the axles and steering parts now. Thanks, Rick
