I've personally had the opposite experience. I had the original D-44HD up front with a 350, and with the Cummins Swap moved to the D60 with cross-over. The wheel/tire combo was the same in both with 315/75R16's, and both with a 6" lift. It's night and day for me. The old setup had a lot of "float" in the front end and (even with a new steering box) about a half inch of slop in the steering wheel. Going to the cross-over was a huge difference, the truck tracks great, no bounce-steer issues, and response is quick.
While I know some may say that it was the steering box, I can't agree with that completely... it remained the same through two different boxes, and all of the tie-rod ends were replaced in the old D44...
