Steering wheel alignment

Ive been fighting trying to get my steering wheel straight on my 72 k20. I have a 4" spring lift with a raised steering arm. My drag link is straight when yhe truck sits level, so i believe that is all setup right. My issue is no matter how i adjust the drag link the truck will either not turn all the way either direction, or the truck steers geat both ways the steering wheel is just off about 1/3-1/2 of a turn when going straight.

What am i doing wrong? I could take the wheel off, move it a few splines and line it up, but thats not the correct thing to do is it? Im fairly certain the splines on the end of my column have a timing mark on them for the steering wheel to line up correctly. The rest of the parts i believe can only go one way, i thought i may have had my steering shaft a half turm off but it only goes one way as well.
