too much steering??

okay i have an 84 K10. it has 2" add-a-leafs in front and back. 31" BFGs.

i have replaced the steering gear box, upper and lower ball joints, center link, tie rod ends, and bearings.

my steering was still not quite as tight as i would like. it was a lot better than when i first got the truck but not quite right. so i replaced the sway bar bushings and it is better but still not quite there.

when i am driving i am having to correct maybe an 1/8th of a turn. seems like there is still play, but no play. i know that doesn't make sense, but when i turn the wheel i can feel the wheels moving but not as responsive as i would like. the only thing left that i can think of is my stabilizer.

anyone have a suggestion to tighten up my steering? or am i just too use to driving newer vehicles. this used to never bother me when it was my daily, but now i'm being picky.
