so, got everything in with minor bumps yesterday, had them all the way up and holy, i have so much room to go down still LOL
anyways... the toe in front is out a TON bcause the location of the tie rod has changed by about 1/4"
its getting an alignment right now. does anyone know how much threads we have to go in the tie rods from stock position?

Not sure but along with that fender roll, you probably want to hammer that pinch weld out of the way up front or the middle of your tires are going to be garbage real quick. Measure the inside rim to rim front and back of your front rims and you can find out how much you need to adjust your toe. Just keep turning the tie rods until your measurements are even. Thats how I would do it.
