How tight/loose is your steering?

I ask because on my truck you have to sort of steer left and right (constant correction)to stay straight! I assume the new kingpins, tie rods, corrected steering arms tighten things up a bunch, BUT did you do anything with the steering box? Will you? Is a power steering conversion in your future?

I plan on tightening up the adjustment, but there is not an abundance of slack at this point.

From the steering box to the hubs everything is brand new. All new ball joints on the drag link, on the steering arms and new bearings in the hub. Better than new by far!!

Power steering? Maybe.......a big maybe. I wanna put some miles on it first before I make the decision.
