any of you notive any difference in steering after a lift ?
I installed a TF 2" lift years ago and now I have moved and do more highway driving, I have noticed I have some play in my steering wheel. I haven't had the time to see if it's gearbox play or play in the 265/75/16s I'm running.

@Discorama Custom built by a local fab shop, my wife is short so rather than a slider I did a slider with a top cover. They are bit wider than I wanted but they great for working up top. The passenger side have hit a few biggish rocks but have have stood up well.

Adjusting the play in the steering box is easy.
Jack up and the front onto stands, loosen steering box locknut while holding the torx adjustment screw. Adjust the torx screw clockwise in very minimal amounts while checking for steering play. When the play is gone, hold torx screw in place while tightening down the locknut. Done.

I don’t have play in my steering
it’s my power steering sometimes it does not work at all for a small part of a turn than it kicks in
