full hydraulic steering
Anyone install full hydraulic steering on their trucks? You know the stuff that the rock crawlers put on their rigs.
I figure a few hundred bucks and you can get rid of the sloppy *** steering that these trucks are known for and a quicker responce of the wheel.

I did not see the "law" but what he said made some sense and i lost interest. He said that if you are going down the highway and a piece of trash or debris came up and severed a line then there would be no steering to control the truck. IDK made sense at the time.......

There will always be a little play, this is not a rack and pinion set-up after all, but with a nice new set of tie-rod ends and a good rebuilt box there will only be a fraction of the play produced by worn out steering components.
I got my tie rod ends and box at NAPA, the prices are reasonable and the parts are of high quality.
