90' custom project needs steering help!

I am doing some custom work to a 90' F150 shrt bx 2wd. I replaced all four shocks w Monroe Reflex, and went with 1" in sway bars in the back and 1 14" in in the front.
my steering is still th 95k stock. The steering seems like it is to slow, and even with a wheel alingment the wheel still does not sit straight.( it wasn't straight before)
What should I look at next?

Well if it is aligned and everything properly, and just the steering wheel is crocked then it is a pretty easy fix. On the drage link (it should be adjustable) there is the spot where it has two threaded ends and the adjuster deal holding it together. With the truck up off the ground adjust that while someone else sits inside to tell you when it is centered...

Do you think this is also why the steering is slow and seems out of touch with the front wheels?

Steering Shaft

Have a look at your intermediate steering shaft. There is a clip inside that apparently wears and breaks and allows for freeplay and makes the steering vague.
