Steering wheel alignment

Ok, when my tires are straight, the steering wheel has to be turned a little bit to the right. I just got an alignment not too long ago, and it was before, and it didnt change with the alignment. It wasnt too bad, but then i ended up driving through a cloud of dust that i couldnt see through and i fell into a ditch, it was about as deep as my 32's and i was sitting on the t-case skid and front bumper (custom steel bumper so no harm done) wasnt a problem, after i locked the hubs i backed right out of it in 4-low, but long story short i bent a rim and was able to fix it, but now the steering wheel is really bad with the mis-alignment. The truck doesnt show any signs of pulling or anything with bad alignment. Can i adjust the steering wheel myself?

As long as everything else is adjusted/aligned properly, easy to re-center the steering wheel, either loosen the splined clamp at the firewall and rotate the wheel as needed, or pull the wheel and line it up the way you want it.
