Is this much steering slop normal?

If you pop the hood and look can you see the steering gear or does the 6.4 have crap on top of it?
I can see the ground in a few spots, you can't? I had no idea they where that crammed in.

Firmness is something that I am still wanting more of.
For one or both?
You know were you got it?
The Moog is $155 for one I am am trying to figure out what is a better deal.

Hey Bill, sorry I never got back to you before. It's pretty easy to lose track of threads on this site.
Anyway, the previous year when I was snow plowing, the steering slop was just dangerous and ridiculous, especially when moving through roads covered with nasty and being next to someone. Redhead fixed that right up this year.
Seeing as you already have the RedHead, I would also suggest that you invest in dual steering stabs. while you are at it.

In retrospect, maybe I would have tried a Skyjacker kit or another, but the Pro Comp isn't bad really.

I'm running a Pro Comp system from 4 Wheel Parts. I think it was roughly $120 or so. It is a lot better than stock really, although I would maybe prefer some stiffer valving in the shocks themselves. The kit was easy enough to assemble, but the instructions were god awful. They kept referring to the tie rod as a sway bar.
In retrospect, maybe I would have tried a Skyjacker kit or another, but the Pro Comp isn't bad really.

I am leaning towards the Moog.
I have had really good luck with their parts.
Might look at the skyjaker too, but if the procomp is not really stiff I don't know that I would be happy with it.
