steering wheel after lift

[markm]

I just put a ready lift 2.5 lift kit and 35inch tires on my truck. It rides good,looks good. Here's the thing the steering wheel is at a 90 degree's when the wheels are straight from were it was. Is this something Idid. Do I just need an alignment. Thanks for any help.

Yeah you can do that. But I would recommend an alignment as well

Thanks guys. Iam already taking it in for an alignment. Will that take care of it or do I still need to drop the pitman arm. If I do need to drop the pitman arm do need to do that first.
Thanks

when u are getting the alignment done, just tell them about the steering wheel, they will get it all fixed up

the only thing you need to do is loosen the turnbuckle on the drag link from the gear box to the front end , its called setting the clear vision, clear vision being called that so you can see the gauges correctly , have some one sit inside and twist the turnbuckle till straight, drive it see if its straight , if not fine tune it

exactly what he said but jack the front up so its easier to turn the knuckle.

I'd park the truck with the tires straight....engine off but key ON (to keep the steering wheel from locking), turn the adjuster sleeve until the steering wheel is straight.



No need to remove the pitman arm.....as that is the improper way to do it.
