37's on stock axles? I hope not!

Is it tight all of the time or just when you are driving slow?

New axles. The running gear is 3/4 ton 6 lug. 4:10 auburne lockers. I took the steering linkage off last night and though it is new it is very tight, and almost sticks in certain spots.

How does it steer if you have the front end off the ground?

I will check when I get home tonight and hit you back. My front end guy said the steering link was tight, but he didn't think that was the problem.
