Default horrible frontend alignment

feels weired asking a cart related question about my own cart..but w/e here goes....so ever since i installed the jakes lift on my cart waaaay back when the frotnend has been jacked. the instructions called for me to put the lower shock mounts on the 2nd hole in from the outside and that seemed bad so i put it on the last hole to make the tires line up better. but the more i look at it the worse the front tires look. they are not only toed in very badly they are also leaning inwards at the tops...i have bearely driven this cart on pavement and the short time i have already wore down a good ammount off my front mudlites so its obviosuly very bad. it also makes the cart VERY unstable at anything over 12mph and it almost scares me....ill try to get a pic up tomorrow but how do i correct this?

Sounds like either shocks are out of adjustment/alignment, shocks maybe too long, or the center part of the front end needs to be lowered to give it more slack. Your good at welding. Make a couple of steel plates, drill four holes, and drop the center part of the frontend from the frame about an inch.
