Default Front tires angle in with new lift kit

I just installed a Jakes 6" lift kit and now my front tires angle inward causing a terrible out of balance ride. I installed 22x11x10 offset with the luft kit. Any ideas on how to fix?

I did about 20 times. The front toes in about 3/8" from the back with the same amount of turns on the tie rods. One tire looks really off compared to the other. Everything seems to measure up when I out a tape to it. Yamaha G22 2003 Electric.

Optimum toe in is usually about 1/4 inch toe in (narrow in front) on a 24 inch tire...... Couple ways you can do this. One jack up a front tire and hold a piece of chalk up to the tire (center) and spin it. This will leave a line you can measure to when you do it to both tires and set the cart back down... Best to get in the cart and jump up and down a couple times to settle it... then measure front and rear.

Also if you are getting screwy balance problems it may be the tires... move em around and see if the problem follows a particular tire? Or take them all to a tire shop for balancing.
