Manual steering question

I have a manual box, front is lowered 4" with spindles and springs, and 235/50/17's on 17x8's. The truck handles well and I don't mind the steering effort, but I'm not too happy with the feel. Maybe I'm too picky, got too used to my Silverado or my wife's Tahoe, but the wheel moves a bit, doesn't always stay on exact center, and just doesn't seem to be as tight as I would like. I gotta figure bumpsteer plays into that, and the tires, so I'm not expecting it to drive like my other vehicles with power R&P! Just wondering if it's probably normal, or maybe it's a little too loose? The steering box is new, along with all the other parts, and just got an alignment recently.

I'm thinking I'm being too picky honestly, like I said, but just asking for a sanity check. Considering lowering it an inch all the way around still, and I'm pretty sure it'll only make it worse!
