Just installed a 4.5 zone lift and when your going faster then 50 mph there is ton of slop in the steering, any advice on how I can tighten it up? Would a drop pitman arm help?

Just go though and check every thing from being loose I would think

Sounds like bad caster angle.

+2. Did you get it aligned yet? If not, the toe is out.

Have someone Rock the steering wheel left and right while you watch all the steering parts and look for slop. Make sure to check the upper track bar joint, they wear out and can cause sloppy steering.

Have someone crank the wheel while you watch the steering components. If anything has slop it's likely bad. Also check your ball joints and axle u joints.

Do you have the specs from the alignment? Post it up if you do.
