im installing a new lowerd pitman arm to go with the new 4.5" kit i installed. when i removed the old arm the gear box shaft moved but i never noticed, when i installed the new arm my wheels track straight but my steering wheel is upside down. i removed it again to try and get it back staright but no luck. now im just lost and have no idea what to do. HELP....

There is a collar on the drag link (arm that goes from pitman to tie rod), right up near the tre that connects to the pitman arm. Loosen the 2 bolts on that collar (15mm on mine) and turn the collar while your wife/gf/buddy/kid watches the steering wheel. When it's straight, then tighten the collar back down and you are good to go!

Did you get it aligned after the lift? Most alignment shops adjust the steering wheel when they do the alignment.

no heres the thing. i installed the new pitman arm, went down to the alignment shop. when they tried to align it they asked me if i replaced the arm i said yes. and thats when they told me it was installed wrong because one side was like a full 10 degrees off and the other was like no more than .75 degrees. so thats when i came back home and retake the arm off and try and figure out how to put it back in the right way. this is where im at. LOST.
