Steering stabilizers problems ???

I have a truck with 35" X 12.5 tires and the wheel is almost impossible to turn when you are standing still. I know it is bad to do that and I almost never do, but it is also hard to turn when you are moving at parking speed. Like a slow park speed (tight maneuvers). I have 2 steering stabilizer on the front and I am wondering if that is making it harder for the truck to turn the wheels? Any ideas. The truck already has some steering wonder with the stabilizers on there just wondering if those are making my problems worse or better?

Thanks

Kyle, have you flushed the PS pump with synthetic ATF yet? That has helped many on here.

It was recently replaced with new fluid, and that did not seem to help any.

You could always take one end off each shock and see if it makes a difference.
