Wheel alignment is the proper way, should be done anyway after a lift install. Pulling it off and turning it on the splines is the cheating way.

Sounds like your toe in is off. I roughly adjusted mine after lifting it. Just look at each end of the tie rod ends. You'll see a bracket that's threaded on each end with bolts securing it from twisting ( you'll have one on each side ). Unbolt nuts and twist the bracket with a vice grip, shouldn't take much but you should see the toe in correct. You can't get it perfect but trial and error worked for me. Only took me 10 min max too.
