My bronco has a 8 inch lift with 38.5 inch tires and i have an issue with stearing. when driveing at any speed i have play in the stearing wheel and the truck drifts from side to side but it is still controlable and i know its something with the front of the truck but i dont know what.

With that type of lift and those huge tires its never going to be anything close to factory steering, you could try having the front end aligned but again with it lifted like that and big tires the alignment will not last long. The steering and suspension components are getting a LOT of extra stress with a set up like that.

Well I have a stearing stabilizer and the front end alignedment was just done 3 days ago and I just dont know what else to cause it to drift side to side. Could it be the front control arms or maby something to do with the pitman arm or anything connected to it?

Could be a lot of things, faulty pitman arm, misaligned axle, cracked frame, ball joints etc. It will all need inspected properly
