Borgeson's definitely out of the steering box market for these trucks and I thought they stopped the shaft, too?
Check your play at the bearing at the firewall. I don't see it discussed much on this forum but I'm wondering if much of the wandering (see what I did there) symptoms we see aren't from that.
There's the company that makes an acetal bushing to go in place of the bearing...rock solid Ram steering or some such?
If you're gonna have the shaft removed for replacement I'd also at least look at this, too. There's no better time to install the bushing if you need it.

I installed that part from rock solid a long time ago. Yes you are correct their website has nothing anymore but I did find them on summit racing so I’m definitely considering it . It’s 200 bucks more than a dorman. One so hopefully it will last twice as long ? Haha
