Default Toe-In on TXT

Last weekend I put a 6" drop axle lift kit on my 2005 txt from Steeling. The little instruction sheet that came with the kit said that they recommend a 1/8" toe-in of the front wheels. I've noticed that other manufactures of lift kits advise a bit of toe-out after installing a their lift kits. Does anyone have experience with this and what is going to allow my E-Z-GO TXT to perform best?

From reading on here a little bit of toe in will make the cart more stable, and ride better

The installation instructions for the Jakes LT kit say to put the toe in at 1/8". I've never seen a recommendation to toe out the front tires. But then......I also admit that I haven't read everything ever printed either.

The only one I have ever seen that says Tow out is MadJax, And I don't know why. It's always been Tow in.

Just use a tape measure and measure the back of the tires vs. the front and adjust the tie rod until it's where you want it.
