Default center steering wheel

In the process of installing lift and changing all steering components. While i had the draglink off the steering wheel got turned and is now upside down. I'm trying to figure out which way it turned so i was wondering if anyone could take a picture of there pitman arm so i can see which way it should point or a general idea of what it should point at or a measurement from something. I figure since i didnt remove the pitman arm that would be the best reference. I don't want to guess and get the clockspring all twisted.

Thanks,

mike

When you lifted the Jeep, you lengthened the distance from the pitman arm to the right wheel, so If you start by adjusting the steering arm to lengthen it, your steering wheel will move back towards center. It should still be within the range of adjustment, if not you need a longer steering arm.
