How do I correct bumpsteer?

I finally got my truck together and took it for a drive and it's a big disappointment. I had driven it up and down the smooth street I live on and it was OK, but on less than smooth streets it's not acceptable. I have the CPP power steering kit that uses a GM box mounted outside the frame in front of the axle. I had some doubts about this kit when I installed it but it was written up positively in magazines so I figured it must be OK. My concern then, and now, is that it is mounted between the shackle end of the spring and the axle, and also the drag link is so short, which I think would contribute to bump steer. My question now is how to correct this? Anyone else used this kit satisfactorily? Any ideas anyone?
