Adjust the sleeve on the drag link, be careful a little is a lot, try a 1/4 turn at a time.
Adjust it, tighten it, drive it to see where it is.

I did this not long ago, mine was off after getting an alignment. If you first park the truck with the front wheels pointing straight forward as best you possibly can, then make sure your steering wheel is unlocked. Then, as you adjust the drag link sleeve the steering wheel will turn. Just adjust until your wheel is level & you're done. Helps to have an observer watching your wheel for you...

I found a thread or two on this site, search for "+drag +link"

I actually just used a big pair of channel-locks. My threads were pretty clean and the sleeve turned pretty easily. your mileage may vary...
