Default IFS Problem, Could be minor, but help?!

I just spent $1900 to rebuild most of my front suspension in my '98 K2500.

Unfortunately some friends convinced me to do some low-key wheeling and i got stuck in a small muddy rut on my left side.
My left front tire was up against the rut on its sidewall, and i had to power through the slippery mud to get through it.

After i got back on road, i noticed my steering wheel was turned to the right to keep it going straight. The truck still pulled to the right on cambered roads as usual, but with my steering turned slightly to the right as well.

Perhaps when i powered through the rut I had my wheels turned to the right as i slipped in towards the left? Throwing off just the alignment? What more could anything like this affect?
