I have a Sierra with 2in susp and bodylifts. Do i need a different pitman arm?, as the angle of the stock one just doesnt look right. Also, if i fit 2in shackles will it make it worse.

Maybe and yes.

Your body lift will not have effected the drag link angle. If you add extended shackles you may find you get a little more bump steer. Some 3 degree castor wedges, and a drop pitman arm will have it driving like stock again.

Will this be affecting my steering, like make it harder to turn and always wanting to go straight. Or is that just the big tyres

when did that start happening? when you put the tyres on? The lift will not cause that problem.

No it steers the same with stock tyres. i mite be just used to power steering. Could it br the steering box as it seems to have a bit to much crap on it for my liking, although theres no noticable leak

your box just isnt extremely worn n sloppy is it?

I found when I extended my shackles this happened to me. Because the front diff had essentially been rolled forward, the front end geometry was up the creek. I found it would track straight, be hard to turn, to a point, then would pull towards full lock once you got about 2/3 of a turn in. As was mentioned, 3 degree castor blocks did the trick.
