Unbolting the steering box can cause it 
what you need to do now is unlock the steering wheel and rotate the adjustment sleeve on the drag link to re-center the wheel.

So a front end alignment will fix this. Toe in was affected.

incorrect toe in/out is adjusted by loosening the tie rod adjustment sleeve

Simply unbolting and rebolting the steering box should not change the alignment. Was a new spacer part of the kit? If so, simply adjust the drag link sleeve. All that changes is steering wheel center and does not affect toe.

Center steering wheel with draglink sleeve, then use tape measure to set toe in/out with tierod sleeve.
You want the front of the tire to be 1/8-1/4" in from the rear of front tire measurement, so If back of tire measure 58", front should be 57 3/4 to 7/8".
No need to spend 80 bucks to adjust one thing and center a wheel
Still may need minor centering of steering well after toe adjustment.

Can't imagine why it wouldn't be. I went for years on 3" with factory everything other than the spacers and spring clamps.

What section of the tire do you measure from?
