Upgrade steering for bigger tires??

Ok im going to be running 37" on 8" lift. Is there any other way to get steering back to what is was like stock other than ram assist. Possibly upgraded steering box or pump?
Any suggestions?

Thanks, DB

i've heard having the system flushed and refilled with Synth. fluids REALLY helps...

might wanna look into it..

certainly cheaper then gonig ram steering or some kind of aftermarket steering box swap.

I have 37's with 6" lifton my 2000. The steering is really good IMO.
Of course this is my first ford, used to be an old Jeep guy.

Might want to do the lift and tires first and see how it feels first, rather than worry about upgrading the steering. I had mine offroad for about an hour today and had no problems at all.
