That was my point all along, every truck I’ve seen converted to crossover steering ends up with noticeable bump steer. Some more noticeable than others but they all have it to a certain degree, which is exactly why I did not do crossover on any of my rigs. Crossover is perfect for a dedicated trail rig but maybe not so much on something that rides the highways a lot too. Not sure there is much you can do to make it go away.
Boy, I am sure glad I found this thread!

5 years later, still feel the same Larry?

My steering box is pretty worn out, so I'm scheduling some steering upgrades. I was sure that crossover was the way to go, but now you got me questioning that. I put a lot of highway miles on my rig and any wheeling I do is going to be pretty tame.
