Can you define what loose steering is in this case? Can you feel play in it, or is it more about how far you have to turn the wheel to see a tire move? Or is it bumpsteer?

when doing the toe bigger tires should have less toe in 1/16 of an inch difference is good on 33s and when adjusting the ca watch your coils when the look straightwith bump stop mount your pretty good to go

Park on some good dry pavement and have someone turn the wheel all the way back and forth while you watch the frame where the steering box attaches. If your frame flexes at all that is your problem and you will need to install a steering box brace (I reccomend the inner and outer braces from T&T Customs). Another thing to look for would be a loose track bar bracket. Often the bottom bolts work themselves loose enough to let the bracket move a bit and that will also give you loose steering. I got tired of re-tightening mine over and over again so I just welded it to the frame.
