@/dev/yj I wanted to follow-up, I just swapped to a T-style (I assume above you are referring to the 98-99 HD steering swap).
To keep the tech up to date, this is the link to the site I used for all the part numbers.
98-99 Heavy Duty Steering Conversion
Before I did the swap, I worked on my brakes, not sure how extensive your search for your brake issues has been, but I found a slightly collapsed brake flex line, and a sticky caliper to be the root cause of my steering pull while breaking. The steering upgrade has been a nice improvement in steering feel, but was done after I fixed my brake/steering pull issues.
I have been very happy with the 5.9l gas engine so far, maybe it is because I am still running stock size tires (pizza cutters).....the truck could always use MORE power....but who has ever said they have enough...or TOO much?
I used that same link to do my steering conversion on my 96, really helped.
As far as brakes, I found the ticket. Replaced the rear drums with a disc braked axle and added hydroboost
