    Installed new skyjacker 2 inch lift springs. Now my front tires are severely toed in. How difficult is it to straighten them out without taking it to an alignment shop. Ross steering with double tie rods. TIA

    the ross steering is your problem. you need to drop that pitman arm down or flip your tie rods to the top of the knuckles

    The Ross isn't the problem. The two piece tie rod is. The toe can be reset after the lift, or a one piece tie rod can be installed.
    There is no drop pitman arm for a Ross setup as the pitman arm is on a horizontal shaft moving the drag link in a longitudinal fashion

    Thanks for the responses guys. I think I can get it close enough to get it to the alignment shop with this info
