Agreed, don't mess with a steering box. Get a new, aftermarket unit, it will make 200% difference. I forgot the brand name, someone will chime in, 600-800$ i think. The stock boxes suck even when new

[QUOTE=69cj;15710948]As a rule, my rule, on an 05 the box has enough wear that I wouldn't screw with it. Also the steering box if not repaired correctly can have dire consequences. Peace of mind would be worth getting a new or rebuild to me. Shop around and get one with a lifetime warranty.[/QUOTE
is it ok to drive for a few days? and is it hard to replace?

That's some lift you have on there.
What year truck is it? It doesn't look much like my truck.
You can use red head, although I'm not real happy with mine. It eliminated the death wooble but provides much less power assist, kind of a trade off I guess. In your case, with such a big lift, it may work better.
Surprisingly there are not that hard to replace. You will need a puller to get the pitman arm off the box, and may need one to get the pitman arm off the drag link.

You should be able to take the list and check out the Auto Hobby shop on ***. If it's still open they are back by U-132 around West C street.
