All contribute to sloppy steering.

It could be a kit from REZ Engineering. I think they may be out of business now, but their kit was a good one. Easy to install, and only needed to make two cuts, one to modify a corner of the bumper bracket, and the other to shorten the shaft. When I did mine, that truck along with a front sway bar, handled so much better, and could actually get out of its own way. Unlike the school bus steering it had prior to the upgrade. Of course, his could be just a cobbled-up modification using junkyard parts.
