Don't have the link but it's simple to do. Loosen the clamps on the drag link and turn the sleeve. Center it up and retighten.

Quick question. When centering the steering wheel, do I put the key in the ignition and unlock the steering or leave the steering locked when adjusting the drag link?

Thanks.

Unlock it so the wheel turns when you adjust the link.

That is a good video. No matter what video I watch or write up I read no one mentions what to do with the ignition steering lock. I just wanted to make sure I understood before I screwed something up! Installing a lift alone with no experience has been exhausting. Thanks for the replies.

Very simple. Helps to have a helper so you don't have to kelp getting up and checking the steering wheel. Unlock steering wheel and make sure the tires are straight. Loosen draglink turn until wheel is straight. Then retighten. Done.

I'll have to check, but I don't think either of my JKs has steering locks.
