The steering is alot more stiffer now... and the shifter is to close from my leg(the guy told me he could arrenge that). Did any of you guys have problems or deception with lift kit ?

Yes it is possible to go back. What year is your truck and what kind of lift is this. I had a 4" pro comp lift and loved it. Didn't have a problem with steering or ride. Who installed it? Is this a body lift your talking about? Let us know more info...

It's a 93 V6 4x4... but it's pimp... I won't take it off... I just would of like the steering like before. the guy told me that the angle was change that's why it's a bit stiffer.
i'm currently shopping for tires... dont know if its better to go on the net... if you have any websites to give me go ahead !

A body 3" body lift shouldn't be a problem with any of or change your steering cuz all of the part other then the steering wheel are on the frame. The only thing I can think of would be your u-joint in the steering wheel arm is binding up (or worn) for some reason.
I have a 3'' body lift on my 85 and the only things it had an effect on was the lower radiator mounts, the fuel filler hose, and the shifter levers being lower. |

The guy told me that if I want to get the same steering feeling as before he had to change the angle of the steering....

It may be the the body lift kit didn't have anything to correct the increased angle of the steering column or correct for the increased length the column needs to be.
Or the installer didn't do something, or short cutted in this area. It's the only place a body lift could affect steering.
