Now I just need new gears... 3;21 is a pain with my 6 speed...
And tks everyone for the quick input !!! It's amazing how quickly this forum can come around and suggest solutions...
I would like to add a big tks to the guys at Rough Country that quickly replied to my email and they were spot on with my problem/solution...

Glad to hear your problem has been solved!
With regards to the slow steering response...
This is entirely an issue with the Toe. And to be more exact, to much Toe-In. Toe-Out will usually provide quicker steering response but will also cause the vehicle to want to wander.
To little Caster will cause the vehicle to track erratically and a LOT of "feedback" in the steering... the point of the dreaded death wobble.
Camber affects cornering force and handling... it will also wear the hell out the inside or outside of the tire if not properly set.

If I could afford it right now, I would re-gear.. But then again, I'm not sure with what cause I'll be running my winter tires soon which must be close to a 32"...
I don't know what the RPM is @ 70 but let me check next time I hit that speed... LOL
I work downtown, live close and I take the train weekdays..
But I can tell you I have to slip my clutch a lot in 1st and 6th is non existent ...
