I am trying to move the relationship of the ball end to the centerline of the axle to try and split the differences but not quite getting it yet. I keep thinking I am doing something very obviously wrong as people have been doing these swaps for many years and I have not heard of this issue. I really appreciate everyone's time and input on this. It will be solved at some point. Thank you. I'll check again maybe I have the Ackerman angles goofed up but it seemed as everything lined up with the center of the rear axle.

I'd compare the travel of your steering box arm to the travel of your spindle arm from stop to stop. It's possible your steering arm travels a shorter or longer distance. Your going to want the gearbox arm to travel slightly longer distance that spindle arm. Going back to my first response, find the center of the travel for your spindle arm and then measure the distance of the balls when your steering box arm is centered. It's possible your spindle arm travels more in one direction than the other?
