Default Steering changes after pitman and idler arm replacement

I've replaced pitman arm, inner and outer tie rods, and center link. Everything is exact replacement for the truck even compared old with new parts. Got everything on properly and got a wheel alignment. The problem have now is when I turned the wheel full lock left and right the front wheels have a hard time rolling. Like truck has too much steering. The tires are screeching on the ground, like the 4-wheel drive is engaged. I've lifted the truck and only rear wheels are turning. So, transfer case and front diff not the issue. There is no noise coming from steering box or anything. Anyone have the same problem?

Aren't there adjustable "stops" on each side to prevent wheels from turning too much???
