I tried to figure out how to do a search on this question and came up zippy.
anyways on my lifted blazer and also a truck i just bought, i can turn the steering wheel farther to the left than i can to the right. i am thinking this is an easy fix but i cannot come up with the answer.
anyone know how ?

thanks ,
mike
 
Straighten your wheels first. Disconnect the drag link on one end. Count how many turns your steering wheel goes either way and leave the wheel in the middle of that that. Adjust your draglink in or out & bolt it back up. If I missed anything somebody correct me.
 
If you are using the stock push pull steering it will be a problem due the the drag link geometry after the lift.
 
Yep....

Sounds like a problem with the draglink length (either too long or too short)

I had a similar problem when I moved my axle forward. It made the dragling too long, and I had lopsided steering (too much one way, not enough in the other). There wasn't enough adjustment so I had to cut down the rod ends to get them to screw in far enough.
