Steering Linkage Interference

Shaft from your steering box is too big for eye in your center link(drag link). Else, reverse is true. They must match; and when hole & shaft match, pitman arm goes further up onto the st. box shaft.

You were correct when you noticed pitman arm did not go on far enough. Corrected, it will raise driver's end of center link--and tie rod ends--and should then clear both sway bar(if the bar is correct) and the frame when turning the other way.
Enjoy your project.
