Default Ideas for steering up grades.

Since I have put my lift on my idler arm and pitman arms keep going out. I have found a bunch of upgrades made by cognito I am thinking about ordering but was wondering if anyone on here has used them or has found something else that works better. I have my 4.56 gears coming in and was going to try to knock out steering at same time. Any advice minus SAS would be appreciated lol. SAS will be my last resort.

I can't remember the name but I saw an article in a popular mechanics about an after market front end that allowed the wheels to cant or reangle themselves in a turn. The idea being to relieve stress and make the turn easier.
I have a 6 inch raise on my truck and expect steering wear issues because of it. I always try to go very slow in sharp turns and avoid sharp turns when I can because you feel the rear end pushing the front end sideways.

Ill try to see if I can find what your talking about. I try to take it easy on the truck but around my town the roads suck so its kind of hard. Ive stopped wheeling it for now just due to fact im tired of swapping CV axles, Hub assemblies, and Steering components.
