Power steering tightness

Maybe search box at top right. hard steering. Or no power steering. If you changed the angle of the drag link between the pitman and left spindle arm that might change things. May need a custom link.

 

Pulling the blocks out of the front end (between the springs and the beam) changes all the front end geometry.

 

One thing I would check and see is if your filter in the power steering reservoir is plugged up. They get neglected more than you think. Restricted fluid flow, low power steering assist.

 

This was my problem this summer. Silly me been driving for a "few years".... Didn't even know the power steering system had a filter. I

 

Wait a minute were you having steering issues before you swapped out springs and removed the blocks and installed bags.Those blocks don't just raise the front end they pitch the axle beam

 

I don't believe the pitman arm I know on the old trucks without power steering they used to put a tapered shim between the springs and the blocks to pitch the beam to help steer easier,if you look at the block I think that you will find that it was tapered

 

All steer axles should have caster (which is set by those tapered shims). Caster is what helps keep you going straight when you let go of the steering wheel. I would get the box and pump checked out. If they are bypassing internally, you'll have hard steering. Also if the input shaft on the box gets buggered up, you might not get full assist in the box.
