Steering Feel Question
Just something I am trying to track or figure out.
One my F350 with 175,000 miles on it, at low speeds when turning the steering wheel it seems as if it has two places during use that it rubs or has an oblong spot in it. I have 285 tires on it and have for years.
Kind of like if you were turning a shaft in a seal and it rubbed or was rough.
It makes a faint, muffled, barely audible grinding noise or feel.
I have a lift and level of about 4" and 285s for years. This just started in the last 5 months or so.
Any pointers?

This could be one of the steering shaft U-joints acting up----sounds like it to me anyway. You can try shooting WD-40 or something similar into and onto them, seeing if that eliminates your hard spots.
Since its a relatively new thing most likely its not directly related to your lift and tire size.
