Ok, so the steering wheel in our’03 is no longer centered after the lift was installed.
It’s been about 18 months since the work was done, and while I’m generally happy with the results and the subsequent ‘check the bolts’ service since, Om unhappy about the steering wheel being slightly rotated counterclockwise. I know this is a petty little rant stemming from my OCD (so there’s that), but I want to put it back on track, so to speak.

This is actually the 2nd car that we had front end work done on, along with alignment) and the damned wheel isn’t straight.

What’s the easiest way to rotate this damned wheel a few degrees and not jack up my alignment?

Worked easily for me.
 
There's an adjustment link on the drag link that is used to center the steering wheel, circled in red below, it won't change your alignment. Hint... leave its nuts loose while taking short drives up and down your street until it's centered, then tighten them. You want to slightly shorten the drag link to move the steering wheel CW which is done by rotating the link slightly down at its front.
