Swap out the steering box. Don't remember the item number but I am pretty sure is the same box as in our cars so you should be able to go to a tight ratio. Also check the bushings in the front springs. Mine were junk when I got the jeep and it was a battle to keep it going straight. Make sure you have the pitman arm for a lifted jeep. Lots of guys cheap out and don't change it.
As far the empty stall. I am going to take my time to decide what to fill it up with. More than likely it will be one of these three. 1) another 1 gen bird, a Ford model A roadster, a c-4 corvette roadster.
