You are in the right spot here.
Is your truck lifted?
The real answer to your question is to use a 2wd Saginaw steering box, and install an aftermarket pitman arm for a 4x4. Install it so it sweeps from left to right, and not foward to rear like it is now. The new arm will have a tappered hole instaed of a ball joint on the end. Then you can install a crossover steering kit, and eliminate the poor steering that you have now. The short drag link that connects the box to the steering knuckle is too short for proper operation, and anything that you may install other than a crossover kit would just be asking for future problems.
What type of front axle are you running?
