Hey guys, i bought this 05 last year in November, and it has been a pretty good truck, i love it (other than its 8-10mpg). I just finished putting JBA LT's on it, and while doing so i noticed something. While working on the driver side i bumped the steering shaft with my forearm and it moved? Upon further inspection it moves about 1-2 inches?? Its the shaft right as it comes out of the firewall, i can push it with one finger, and the entire shaft moves.

My truck does have a 3" body lift, and i read somewhere you need to adjust it, but as i went to go loosen up the nut, i found out it had been rounded off??

Is it just this steering shaft needs to be adjusted, or is something broken/worn out?

Ill try and record a video to post for you guys to see.

EDIT: Heres the video.

Mines done that for a while. I found it around 20k miles and over tried tightening it but it seems fine.

I didnt really notice anything funny with how it drove or anything? The front end pops and creaks, but i dont think its from this. My 08 does not move like this, whatsoever.
