You need tie rod sleeves and pitman/idler arm braces if you are going to race in 4x4. The IFS is toeing in, causing your steering issues. The sleeves and braces will correct that, and will also keep you from breaking things.

Check your front bearings also. You may have some slack in one of them.
Something is not holding tight.
Fill out your signature so everyone knows what you have. It'll help us trouble shooting.

How much money do you want to spend? There are lots of trucks here running in the 12s and 11s.
Check out the Competition Forum for more details.

If it is pulling hard to one side like that and getting squirrely, your pitman/idler arms are already worn out :(
same thing happend to me, I had only tie rod sleeves and I thought I was all set...then the truck started to become really scary on launch...pitman/idler were shot...I replaced them and put cognito braces on, no problems ever since
