Exclamation Steering box bad lower bearing?

so it seems my tires and lift finally caught up to me. as i turn at low speeds i here clunk clunk clunk, after a quick inspection it appears my steering box output shaft -where the pitman arm is connected- has some slight movement as the wheel is turned it almost makes a small quarter circle, do you guys think this is a bad lower bearing that i could possible take to a bearing shop? or maybe i need to replace the whole box....

any related problems you have experienced?

either way when this is all wrapped up maybe i will throw in a steering box brace,
nice one is Quadratec for $70
