Default Steering problems

Hi Guys,
I'm looking to put on a new Steering Box, pump, steering shaft and possibly an adjustable 3rd generation Trac Bar on my 02 Dodge Cummins shortbed. Anyone know of any package deals for these parts. I recently read something about PSC steering boxes being an upgrade, anyone with any experience with PSC boxes?
would appreciate any info.

Read through the thread listed at the bottom of my signature and it should answer a lot of questions for you. The PSC gear is a great upgrade.

I put a borgeson box and shaft from Geneos garage in mine. I love it took away all the play i had in my steering. Dunno about the pump though. If your pump aint workin right you might have to replace it and possibly rebuild your vaccume pump. Real easy takes bout twenty min with the kit from Geneo's!

I'm not real impressed with my Borgeson shaft myself. It did help with the steering over the stock shaft but the clamping system on it at the connection points suck. Every so many miles I have to go in and tighten bolts down. The factory one clamps all the way around the collar and this new one only clamps on the bolt itself. Hard to explain with showing it.
