Steering wheel crooked

Well since my lift and new tires, my wheel is off to the right about 8-10 degrees (I would guess). I just had the alignment checked today and all was within factory spec. How do I go about fixing the wheel position?

Loosen the the two bolts of the drag link coupling and adjust it. I think you need to rotate it towards the rear of the truck to move the wheel to the left. Make sure you have the key turned to on so that the wheel is unlocked.

Thanks Scott. I knew it had to be something simple, but I didn't want to go messing around and screw it up worse.

When you say "towards the rear of the truck" do you mean the top or the bottom towards the rear?
