did you check the track bar on the front axle I have replace 3 of them on my truck

 

The truck came with 265/70/16 I put on 275/70/17. The rims are dodge rims but the tires i got from a friend of mine. They are only 1/2 worn,( he went to 31s) so quite possibly it is the tires. I'll have the guy at the alignment shop check it out. thanks for all the help!

Had a feeling they were used. I have a 90% hunch they're your problem. The other 10% says maybe an alignment will help, if your old tires were worn to compensate for misalignment, and these tires aren't. Either way, an alignment can't hurt.

 

I have had a similar problem with my 97. I'll bet your steering gear box is worn out. That's what is wrong with mine. I am just to much of a tight as to replace it. lol

 

There are some adjustments you can do to get a bit more life out of the old box. There is even a DIY in the faq section for it. Or, download the factory service manual (also in the faq section) and the procedure is outlined in there as well.

 

I thought the same thing...I even bought the steering arm bracket to stiffen things up and replaced a sloppy steering shaft with an adjustable heavy duty one because of my body lift.. While it helped I found the wander was still there....I just discovered play in my track bar the other day that I somehow missed the last time I looked for it so thats the next thing on my list..
