Want to Tighten up Steering

My steering wheel is a bit loose and I want to give the truck a "tighter" feel to it.

ideas?

Loose pitman arm or idler would be the first two things I would check.

have someone turn the wheel back and forth while you look under the front end. look for play in the items in the above post also tie rod ends. there is an adjustment on the top of the steering box, a nut and screw.

DO you know if the 97 has the same adjustment for the steering box?

definitely looks like everything I would need. My shop quoted $50 each for just the lower ball joints. What will the quality be like for that kit? Clearly not original Dodge, probably all I need though?
