i currently have a 4" procomp lift w/33's. my steering wheel was a bit out of position. i had replaced the steering box with an agr box 2 with new pitman arm. since then the wheel is way out of position. meaning the wheel is about 1/2 turn from normal position. is there a fix for this ?

Hi Dan - there are two ways to fix this... one, you can remove your steering wheel and simply put it on straight, or two, yo ucan disconnect the steering shaft at the box end (the rag joint) and rotate it until its straight(er).

Both are pretty easy to do.

WAIT! What year is your Jeep?

If you have an airbag equipped steering wheel, do NOT follow the instructions I wrote above. This would cause the airbag to deploy and could really mess you up.

If you do in fact have an airbag equipped steering wheel, I would suggest you take it to a local off-road shop and have them adjust it.

Sorry for the confusion, I assumed you had an older CJ or something.
