You don't need an alignment, you can just turn the adjuster that is by the pitman arm to center your steering wheel.

I borrowed this picture from a different thread so I hope they don't mind, but the arrow is point to what you want to adjust.

That's the drag link, not the tie-rod.

i just did this adjustment on my truck and it worked great. straightened out the steerin wheel, but DID NOT affect the alignment of the wheels whatsoever.
