Angry Steering Wheel Help! Anybody?

I just finished installing a 3" body lift and now the steering wheel is 90 deg to the left. Cant see my dash display. I think I could just take the wheel apart , pull it and align it that way. Has anybody done this. 03 Screw

I'd go get an alignment. I know you said a body lift, but did you touch your control arms at all? It doesn't take much too mess it up.

I didnt touch the control arms. I actually took off the wrong end of the steering shaft by the steering box and when i put if back on apparently the steering wheel turned and now its crooked. Id rather not take that apart again pain in the *ss to get back on. Just thought pulling the steering wheel and putting it back on straight would be easier.

You need to take it apart down by the steering box and put it back where its supposed to. Don't try to take off the steering wheel and then turn it. Either way its about equally hard, you'll be ahead in the end to get the shaft back in the way its supposed to be.

it is way easier to just put the shaft back right, than to mess with the wheel.
