1991 Lifted Toyota truck steering problems! PLEASE HELP

ok guys im new to this page and new to toyotas. I have a 1991 Toyota truck with 10" suspension lift I just traded for today. The guy was 100% honest with me when I got it. It is the 22re motor. It has 3/4 ton axles, new clutch, 3 link tubular rear arms, lockers front and rear(not sure what this is either).The only problems so far that he told me is the 4x4 works but the ujoint broke (not a mechanic so ill need some help with this one) and the steering is TERRIBLE! you can barely hold it on the road. what can I do to fix the steering. I do know when you lift a truck that high you do have to change something with the steering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well a 10" lift I would say that is most of your problem along with the tires and worn steering gear parts.
