Question New steering components - Oversteer

I just replaced the inner\outer tie rods and idler arm in my '69 2wd C10 due to them wanting to kill me. The steering tightened up nicely.

I measured and put the tie rods together the same length the old ones came out. Obviously I'll need to align it now... basically the toe-in\toe-out. I'll find those specs and can do that in the garage.

Now it seriously over steers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be because of too much toe-out, correct? I did have to adjust one side longer than measured to get both ends to line up, and I could hear a tire squeal making a sweeping turn.

I don't know if alignment specs change when the truck has been lowered with drop spindles and air bags, but I'm going to start with factory specs to get the over steer corrected.

Thanks
