Dampening
The answer for me was a Fox ATS steering stabilizer. It's adjustable and I crank it up almost to the tightest setting. It made a huge difference... but may not be your issue, if the steering does not engage for 3-4". Even when you get the Jeep running solid, the Fox is incredible for tightening up the flighty feel. And I totally get that it's not needed. I always remove the SS when I do work on the front end to see if there are any issues the SS may be covering up. But I put it on for the adjustable dampening feature. Made a huge difference and I have run 2 other types in the past.

I had this issue also, turned out my pitman arm was loose. Check to see if the nut is tight

I'll add.... The rear TB should be raised as well if running a high steer w/ raised TB in the front. Most kits raise the rear TB at the axle. Some lower which does 0 for roll center.
Raising the front TB without raising the rear will cause some funky handling.
Ideally you want the heights to match or the rear higher.

If you put a drag link flip kit on with an adjustable track bar with the raised track bar bracket at the axle. Do I need to take off my drop pitman arm and put the stock one back on or what. Right now the way it looks the drag link sits lower on the pitman arm side and sits higher up at the knuckle

Moving to a drag link flip, the axle end of the draglink is raised to the top of the knuckle, and the axle end of the trackbar will be raised with a different trackbar bracket to keep them parallel.

A sector shaft brace may also help with some of the steering woes in this thread in conjunction with raising the axle side track bar mount and flipping the drag link. I have the synergy one but other manufactures also make them.
