2006 F350 Steering

does anyone know why my steering has so much play in it. i have a 2006 f350 and just put a donahoe seven inch lift on it. i know its not going to be perfect but for a truck that has 14k miles on it i didn't think it would have 3-4 inches of play in the wheel already.

‘05-‘07 Sds are notorious for having loose steering boxes. In fact there is a TSB (#04-26-1) related to this issue. Check to be sure that your pitman arm and track bar are properly torqued. If everything appears to be in order I would suggest you take the truck to a local dealer and have them check the steering gear mesh.
