Default Steering Wheel off center?

Is anyone else having a problem after having a leveling kit installed where the steering wheel is a little off center after getting it re-aligned? I have had my level kit and tires on for over a month and have had it aligned by three different people. First time the steering wheel was a tiny bit left then they messed with it again and the steering wheel was to the right (both of these done by ford dealership) Took it to another ford dealership and they said they could not adjust it farther and that the right side was out of alignment. Took it to an independent shop in town and they got it aligned in 15 mins, but the steering wheel was still to the right some. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this and or an answer to get this fixed.

loosen the tie rod adjusters, lengthen one and shorten the other the same amount, takes 5 minutes

Thanks for the answer. So if the wheel is right the right side would need to be shortened?

My steering wheel is tilted to the left, and my truck is still stock. It's starting to bother the heck out of me.
