Re: Power steering - how to stiffen it up?
I'll admit that I am used to the drive of newer model trucks. In the past, I had and drove a 73 and 77 K10 as daily drivers so I know they don't ride the same as newer trucks but I don't recall ever feeling like they were hard to control. Maybe I'm kidding myself - those K10's were 25+ years ago. Still, no harm trying to get the best ride from this truck that I can within reason cost-wise.
I did call Tuff Country to ask about the suspension. Their advise was to double-check that I haven't torqued the leaf spring mounts too far, limiting spring movement so I have that to check this weekend. The 4" spring lift did come with a drop steering arm which is installed. I do have a better steering stabilizer on order. I hope that helps prevent the road from yanking my truck around when I hit rough spots. We'll see and I'll update as I get results. I do really appreciate all the feedback on this thread. Hope it ends up helpful to others as well.
