    Check your pressure/flow out of the pump to start.

    Assuming filter, flow, and pressure are good? Turn easy off the ground? Knock the drag link off and see if it turns easy by hand, on a jack.

    If king pins were done first I woukd think there is an issue there

    My truck had a similar issue when I first got it, and it was due to previous owner not greasing the king pins enough lol. I pumped grease in them every 3-4 days for a few weeks and it free’d up.
