Default DREW<STEVE steering has to much play?

hello, thanks for reading and please reply if you have a solution&gt; 01 Cummins 33x12.50x 18" Leveled out, new sway bar,dual steering stablizers. It's not the 2"leveling kit or the tires! i had the problem when it was stock, It was a little worse when it was stock. So what would you guys it is Ball joints? steering box has some slack in it? how do i know when the front u joints go out? if i were to replace lower ball joint would it be smart to change the upper too??? thanks

what you are experiencing is what every 2nd gen dodge owner experiences, crappy steering front end.

the list is long and expensive. if you do the lower ball joints you might as well do the uppers.

you problem could be trac bar (this one is very common), steering gear box, steering shaft, tie rod ends, wheel bearings
