Steering wheel will not align
I've been searching these forums for a problem that I just got. I had my truck leveled and now I have a few problems, 1. my steering wheel is not aligning, even after I adjusted the bar. If I take a left turn the steering wheel will be off centered to the left and if I take a right turn then the steering wheel will be straight. 2. I keep getting Advance Trac and Hill Assist and was wondering if this issue with the wheel would cause it. Thanks for any help!

I just leveled (1.5in) my truck this past weekend and had to do the exact same thing. it took me a few tries, but I got it pretty good. What I call good is that driving on the right side of the road crown, I need to slightly compensate to the left and vice versa.
After your level, did you have the caster adjusted? That could also be contributing to your situation. When I leveled, i put in 2.3 deg and 2.6 deg caster shims (L/R).
Or it could be a little play in the steering box.

So I have been fighting with Ford for a year now and came across this thread. The rattle/vibration in my pedals was killing me and every time I took it to them they said they felt nothing or everything was normal. I brought this thread into them and they wouldn't replace the part because they said they couldn't replicate!
So I went and ordered this new shaft from Tasca which took 5 days but only 20 minutes to replace. Went for a long ride and wouldn't you know, IT FIXED MY PROBLEM!
Thank you to @Imadentguy !!
