I have 5 1/2* caster -1.5 camber at ride hight and 1/8 toe in. I have air ride on 4 corners. So the question? Is it typical old design just have to live with it? Could there be play in the van tilt? Will the porterbuilt front sway bar help? Could it be because I run 25 psi in the rear drag radials. I even feel it at low speed. I do have a bump steer kit I want to install. I measured today and as the suspension goes down it toes in. When I went 2" above ride hight it toed out almost 1/2". I don't feel like I'm getting that much suspension travel just putting around tho. What do y'alls trick drive like...any have tight steering?

I don't really have a clue with all of the aftermarket parts you have installed but I am going to throw something out here..... Are you sure you don't have your centerlink installed backwards? I know that can cause the problem you are seeing. The nuts on the tie rod ends should be facing forward.
