You didn't get an alignment after the drop?

It's normal to need an alignment badly after a drop. After they are done it should be back to normal and without the toe.

it is normal after a drop. but i do believe the djm instructions for the 3" drop lower control arms say 3 turns in on the tie rod ends will get you close.

You are killing your tires if you are driving it without adjusting the toe. I would have it towed to the alignment shop. This is why I had an alignment shop install my arms.

The couple miles to the closest alignment shop won't hurt. Going on a 20 mile test drive will.
