    Have you tried getting someone to turn the wheel back and forward while you have a look at all the steering joints etc to check for play?

    Other option may be needing to adjust the preload in the steering box. When I first got my safari it was super vague and wandery in the steering, but a bit of careful adjustment to the preload screw and it became very direct. You will just have to be careful not to over-tighten, as going too far can cause it to bind the steering under specific situations.

    My guess would be that your dead spot is where the centre of the steering box would have been before the lift. (measuring turn lock-to-lock should tell you if this is the case)
    Possibly the preload as above could help here, or adjusting your drag link to get it centered up.
