Well good news is if it’s just the steering wheel, that’s like a 5 min fix. It is odd if it wasn’t like that when you got it new tho

I aired down this is how bad the steering wheel is when I’m parked.

Yeah, that's kinda lazy :( I mean don't get me wrong, it's an easy thing to miss, but still feels like things may have been rushed a bit. It also makes me wonder what else they may have overlooked.

America’s tires are the one that put on my tires not the installation shop.

Oh that’s right — you didn’t even do a lift.

Maybe you just need to center the steering wheel. Do you feel like the jeep is pulling because you have to hold the steering wheel rotated like that?

Any of those tire shops can fix that for you. Or you can do it yourself. There are a lot of videos showing how to center the steering wheel on youtube. Give it a try
ill give it a shot :)

As others have said, centering steering wheel is pretty simple for either you or an alignment shop. Get the wheels straight, loosen the nut on the drag link, have someone center the steering wheel, then tighten the nut. Regarding your pull, post up an alignment report from a shop in your area. It should look something like the pic here which is stock 392 suspension on 37" KO2s. Green means it is within OEM specs, red outside of specs. 392 drove in a straight line with no drift or pull on specs below and 32 PSI on all corners. BTW, I am now on a 3.5" MetalCloak Game Changer lift and the specs are now different.

I have the same tires on a 2" synergy lift with clayton arms and track bar. I have 5K+ miles on them and haven't had any issues with alignment. Tracks perfectly straight with 30psi.
