in fact, for a long time Aragorn didn't want to be king at all. or at least, he was afraid that he wouldn't do a good job. i think that is mainly why there weren't more claims on the kningship of Gondor from the north. these people, for the most part, weren't power-hungry. they just wanted the best for thier people. they also had enough work to do looking after the people of thier shattered realm. Aragorn and his forebears became used to keeping the realm safe, but in obscurity. they were no longer used to weilding large amounts of power and controling many men. aragorn was used to wandering around doing what needed to be done quietly, and then moving on. this is probably why he was reluctant or afraid or unwilling to be king of Gondor.
