Okay I have an update for anyone who’s curious. I sent my steering box out to bluetop and had them rebuild it and convert it to 3 1/2 turn. So I took it for a ride this weekend and it’s unbelievable the difference don’t get me wrong it still darts a little when you hit ruts (I live on a country road) but on smooth pavement it was actually pretty fun to drive. I think the biggest difference is the correction you can make quickly now as compared to before but I’m sure the box is tighter also. Anyway thanks for all the input I do appreciate it.

do a tire print. take a piece of Christmas wrap and put it face down on smooth concrete and drive over it, see if the tread print is getting close to full tread width. I would also verify toe in and get it closer to 1/8-3/16 toe in at mid tire Diameter.
