Pull on Steering

Hi! New to the forum and not too sure if this is the right place but I recently bought a 90 4X4 with a 5" suspension lift running on 33's. My question is while I'm driving on the highway and hit a small bump or rut my steering pulls. It has power steering and the stabilizers, steering rods were recently done. What could be wrong? One of my friend says that I might need to get a beefier steering box? All the help would greatly be appreciated. THANKS to all in advance!

welcome to YT.
though it may have steering stablizers, what kind of shape are they in?
-33's--on how wide of rims? 8", 10" 12"? wider the rim the more wandering a truck may do.

also are all the suspension components in good shape? bad ball joints, UCA's, tie rod ends, bearings could all affect your steering.

Tires balanced? do they show uneven wear patterns?

lots of factors can come into play

They're on 12" rims, Ball joints, UCA's tie rods ends were all recently done. Tires were balanced and show no uneven wear. I am in the process of turning it in to work on my rear suspension to make it solid and wanted to get some info so I have some sort of idea when I inquire the shop regarding the wandering in the front. Thanks Again!
