Seems like any little crack or bump in the road pushes/pulls my steering. Is there a way to tighten this up, or are some parts in need of replacing?

No, stays in the low 30'sTire pressures too high? Anything over 40 psi and my ride gets real squirrelly.
That's what I was thinking, but figured I would ask first..Always somethingHere's my experience with bump steer..... Mine did the same before I replaced my UBJ, LBJ and tie rod ends. If there is slack in the front suspension you'll feel it in the steering. My tie rod ends were shot, I could grab the end and swivel them back and forth with very little effort. Reach under and check 'em out.
This past Oct. No alignment done, it drove straight with no hands, so I figured I was good.When did you install the lift OHIO? Did you get an alignment after you installed?
If you didn't get it aligned, then that's where to start....mine was the same after my lift install and after front end alignment is was perfect.
I'll take a look in the am.Check the rack bushings, maybe getting worn allowing steering to float enough for you to feel it. Even with little larger tires, shouldn't have issue with bumpsteer....something is lose or worn.

Changing the height basically pivots the tires, you have to align after changing the height. After it has a chance to settle you should align it again. They can drive straight and still be pointing in or out, or leaing outward, all of which are going to wear your tires prematurely and affect your handling.
I like to align mine twice a year regardless of height changes.
