I can turn the steering wheel...
So I just installed a drag flip. I centered the steering wheel and noticed I can turn the wheel further right than I can left. How do I correct this?

I would say the first thing you need to do is establish the center position of the steering box/pitman arm.
You can do that by disconnecting the drag link from the pitman arm, turn the wheel all the way in one direction, turn it all the way in the other direction while counting the turns, come back exactly half that amount. Note where the steering wheel is at that point. Hopefully it will be centered.
Adjust your drag link and tie rod from there.

How is the pitman arm stopping it? Is the drag link hitting it at full travel.

OK, so I adjusted it as close as I could. But now when I turn the wheel left, it turns 1.55. When I turn the wheel right it turns 1.5. Is this acceptable? Or should it be 50/50?

When that's done, go full left and right with the steering wheel. If anything hits and stops travel before the knuckle stops hit, you need to look at that.
