I have an 84 CJ7 with a 4" Rancho lift and 33" inch BFG AT Tires . There is about 2" inches of play in the steering wheel left and 1" right. There is also a lot of wander and the pull. Does any one have any suggestions?

See my profile....since I probably cannot talk you back DOWN to normal CJ height....I suggest a new STEERING GEAR (OEM "Saginaw" better type), A Steering gear BRACE and alignment...also look for slop in your system, such as tie rod ends.

I will send you a Private Message (in a few hours) showing/ explaining MY Steering Gear.
