I just finished doing the fender trimming to accomodate my new 33" Bridgestone Dueller AT's, but the steering seems a bit...unresponsive. There's a good bit more force required now than there was before with my stock 30's, but that's to be expected.

Are there any upgrades that I should know about that can improve the performance of my steering system? Obviously, I need an alignment, but it feels like this goes farther.
 






I didn't have any problems with 33s.

See how it feels after the alignment. Also, check the fluid condition and level, and the condition of the PS hoses, especially to the cooler.

An F150 pump may fit, but most second gens don't have a problem moving 33s.
