    3 inch lift kit
    Thoughts? Added 3 inch lift to truck several yrs ago. Replaced ball joints and tie rods at same time. Replaced factory rack and piñon 1.5 yrs ago. Rack recently failed so got warranty replacement aftermarket part. Reman part was replaced with new rack and two new outer tie rods. Installed new rack and tie rods, and right tire points inward approx 20 degrees and left tire points inward approx 5 degrees. Replaced rack again and same issue. Took to local shop and they said can’t see any issue. Verified rack and tie rods are correct parts per several parts stores and dealer. Rack’s length measures 49.25. Inner tie rods can not be adjusted. Called toyota dealer and parts guy didn’t have rack dimensions. Outer tie rods are bottomed out. Truck was driveable and aligned till we removed broken rack. All other alignment parts appear good, and again local shop could not determine issue. No front end wrecks. Owned truck since 01. Thoughts? Thank you.
