Weird steering
I have a 1992 f150 4x4 and I just put 33x12.50 tires on it and 2 inch wheel spacers but now it feels like it’s pulling all over the place I toed it in a little more but it didn’t really seem to help so I’m not sure if I didn’t toe it in enough or if it might be something else.

Then put in the right size tires 
If you got any wear in the steering components, wider will just make the symptoms worst. If your truck is like every other truck on the road, you got 30+ years of wear on the stock parts.
Might be costly, but I would replace all the wear components, including the steering box. Buy the good stuff.

You put 12.5 tires on the stock wheels knowing that you would need spacers instead of buying wheel with the correct backspacing? I would expect 33” tires to be too big on a stock suspension.

The hunt for slop is conducted by moving the steering wheel and observing what doesn't move when the steering wheel moves. You just go on down until you get to the wheels.
This can be a spendy venture and your lift and tires are not doing you any favors. Not saying to get rid of it. Just saying you got pay to play.
