Default alignment after lift and tires

i put a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my truck with 275 65 18 and got it aligned the guy said its aligned but since i did this stuff the steering wheel can no longer be straight ever is this true and also do i need to worry about a camber kit?

The difference in the front end with a 2.5 lift kit is that a small toe adjustment is needed. There's a post in here I read a while ago that someone did the lift and did not do the alignment. after I think he said 10K later still no wear showing and no handling problems. Never said anything about an off center steering wheel.

Go to another shop a wheel can always be centered!
