Default steering problems

Ok, my truck is 2005 F-350 srw 4x4. 4.5lift 35s with stock wheels only had lift and tires for 7months. ok heres problem. i go to make left turn truck keeps going left.. doesnt go back to straight. kinda feels like i lost power steering, after it does this its hard to drive straight, truck goes right.. i correct slightly it starts going left, and it wont go straight, and its kinda hard to turn wheel. after couple miles it stops doing this and doesnt feel too bad. next day i go to drive. truck feels fine, easy to turn wheels at stop, and drives great. the next day it starts to have same symtoms.... so tonight checked fluid was kinda low.. not bad added about 1/4 quart and drove . drove great on test drive. then go to leave shop and after 4 miles starts to drive same. ive checked front end, and everything is tight. no leaks from power steering pump, doesnt make any noise. belts are good. could this be the pump doing this? appreciate any help. thanks

I have an 05 F-250 diesel. Mine drove perfect and I have a lift and 37 inch tires. A little hard to turn when going slow or at a stop but when driving it was fine. Then today I went to park and the steering box popped and started dumping all the fluid. I was wondering if there is upgrade I can do to prevent this in the future and make it easier to turn at low and no speed. Any Ideas?
