You'll best off to go to Crossover Steering. I installed the ORD kit on my K5. made a huge improvement in the handling.

That depends on the usage of the truck though. It can be a lot of needless expense to go to if the truck doesn't spend a bunch of time offroad. For street driving, there's really no difference at all in handling, compared to stock steering that's in good shape with proper geometry.
