Alignment help

My first post as i just picked up an 2012 E350 with 2" spacer lift in front and blocks out back. Stock size tires but are E rated BFG all terrain. Van only has 29k original miles. Issue is the steering is all over the road and the steering wheel doesnt go back to center, stays where its turned so its a constant fight. Ive posted the alignment sheet for people more in the know than me to take a look. Seems to me that it needs more + castor? Thanks in advance

I'd personally add a bunch of caster to calm the front end down. It's my opinion that the factory spec is not enough caster to keep an unequal length i-beam suspension setup in check. I am running a steering damper kit and caster in the 4º range and it's very calm with much better return to center.
