Firming up steering after level kit?

As the title suggests, is there a way to firm/tighten up the steering after installing a level kit? I got the 1.5" AS level and now my 08' feels like I'm driving an old twin I-beam. I have heavier 33" Toyo MTs which I'm sure don't help. I'm looking to get rid if the light, vague feel that the truck's steering now has. Has anyone remedied this? The bump steer is rather irritating too.

Did you have it aligned after the level?

i had a similar feeling when i installed my leveling kit. the truck felt like it handled a lot more sensitive than before. i could only assume it felt like this because the front end was lifted and it pivoted on the tires so it was riding on the rear of the tires now.

i think it'll put it back to normal once i lift the rear more which im currently doing.

oh and i didn't have mine aligned after the level because my previous alignment was so off that the level actually fixed it. i have had it aligned since i got my new tires though.
