Can i fix my steering wheel by adjusting the drag link? Its a stock drag link and when I put my leveling kit on, I had to take the passenger side of the tie rod off and when I put it all back together the steering wheel is off by maybe 30 degrees or so. suggestions, Thanks guys

 

Yes, that is what that adjustment sleeve is for.

Ok thank you for the anwser, now what do I need to do to adjust it? Do I just turn it, or do I have to disconect some things? Thank you very much for helping

 

Of course there is a specialized tool made just for this adjustment that makes it much easier,
I'd bet most big chain parts stores would rent it, it's called a tie rod adjustment wrench.
Looks like this:


Point the wheels straight forward, leave the key in the click just before on, so the steering wheel is unlocked.
Block the tires so the truck doesn't leave without you,
blocking the front tires will help to keep them from moving when you are adjusting.
Loosen both bolts on the adjustment sleeve, and turn it one way and check the steering wheel to see if it went the right way,
if not, turn it the other way.
Once you are satisfied in the straightness of the steering wheel, tighten both bolts down, sorry I don't know the torque specs.
