Did a lift and the steering was light,felt like I was herding chickens. Alignment done and caster was maybe 2 degrees low. Increasing caster or camber can give more resistance but at the cost if tire wear. Solution: Speedway makes a power steering fluid restrictor. goes on the PS pump high pressure line, reduces flow maybe from 3 to 2 GPM. Gives more steering resistance. IMHO I think this is much better than changing installing castor wedges and it's better on the tires and the fittings are about 30 bucks. 2 parts needed the restrictor and s fitting to adapt it and it, installs in a few min. Found this on a thread here a couple of months ago. I could look up the part # if you like.
