Any ideas why my truck handles like crap??

Steering geometry or worn component.

Tie rods, pitman, idler, etc....

pitman, idler, upper and lower bjs were replaced about 3 months before lift was installed

Probably the Rag joint.

Probably the Rag joint.

? I've never heard of one just "failing" that quickly. Do lifts change column geometry? I'd suppose they might, depending on whether the steering box gets relocated or not.

Nope.

Body lift only.

Gotcha - Thought so..unless the steering box got relocated somehow..

None on the market do that, at least none that I know of.

Doesn't really matter anyways, the RCX 6" kit doesn't move the steering box: http://www.roughcountry.com/chevy_4wd_88-98_6.html and that's what we're dealing with here.

Good to go then - unless he went crawling and tore the box off the frame, lol.

Check the were the lift kit bolts to the frame. I seen one become loose before
