Does the Big Box have the adjustment screw on top? You can turn it 1/4 turn at a time and see if that helps the box. 

  

I'm not sure, I'll have to look into it. I feel like I recall you adjusting a steering box...Was that on your JK?

Um...what?

It should have a tension adjustment screw being a recirculating ball steering type system.

 These systems generally need some adjustment (though I know very few people who ever do) with miles put on. Though generally not the end of the world it can help keep a slight amount of extra play out of the system. Do be careful not to overtighten as it can cause issues.

I have done my jk once in 100k as well as the Ford once

* this adjustment is most commonly made for play between the steering wheel itself and the steering box (sloppy steering wheel/ big dead zone) any play after the steering box this will have pretty much no effect

I think my tires are playing a factor as well. I may need to host a beadlock uninstall/install party. Any interest?

  

I didn't see anyone else saying anything about helping with the beadlocks but I'm still down to help cause I'm going to be tackling mine pretty soon so getting some practice would be good for me

I haven't moved to replacing the tires yet. The jeep is becoming a worm hole. I'm thinking about selling it and buying a horse instead. I'll keep you posted if I do the beadlocks.  Thank you.
