Default why is my steering wheel cocked now?

I just had my 2" terrafirma lift installed and the truck runs straight as an arrow, but the steering wheel is now cocked to the right.

What would cause this and how do you fix it?

drag link has been disturbed. see attached from RAVE. Suggest you read all of the stering section before picking up wrench.

need to adjust drag link. When you lifted it the axle is farther away from the steering box and since the drag link didn't get any longer it pulls the steer arm to make up the difference and that turns the wheel in order to keep the truck going straight down the road

Perfect.... makes sense!

I noticed you are from Sprinfield Mo - My wife grew up there. We just got back from Big Cedar. Love it there.
