85 Chevy loose steering
I bought a 85 Chevy k10. It has 3 inch lift blocks in the front (already on when I bought) and I'm not sure how big the leaf springs are but the truck has 39.5 super swampers. When I try to drive it the steering isn't tight or anything but it's all over the road the steering is really loose and I'm not sure why any help???

Cleveland is correct, but I would try this. On the top of the steering gear box there is a nut with a protruding threaded bolt. Some have a slot for a screwdriver others hold an allen wrench. Try loosening the nut while holding the bolt in place. When the bolt is loose, turn the bolt 1/4 turn. If that helps a little, turn another 1/4 turn. Do not over do it as this closes the gape in the gears and you want a little play in them. Just my .02
