There is a shop procedure for adjusting the steering box. Messing with it without following that procedure is risking disaster. There are a number of components that can cause steering play and many threads here listing them.

Did you have it aligned after you lifted it?

Get it aligned and see how much that helps first. I have a feeling your fresh lift has a bit to do with it.
