The little "adjuster nut" on the gear itself? I haven't tightened that. Anytime I've asked about that in the other sections, everyone just says it ends up ruining the steering gear. I know its there to take up some of the lash in the gear. Would you say its worth trying?
The 71-72 front stuff was installed by the PO before I got the truck, though I've done my best to troubleshoot his install. Everything jives pretty well for the most part. I have not replaced ALL the bushings, only a few as-needed very very early in owning the truck 5+ years and before it had an LS motor.
I'm ASSuming it was a 4 wheel alignment, but I can't promise with certainty that it was.

I will do this...he may VERY well likely have used a stock #, as I didn't provide him a specific goal/tolerance to hit. I suppose unless he knew I wanted the extra tow, he wouldn't have done and done that on his own.

Its hydroboosted so I can't disconnect my power steering unless I don't want brakes
