Default Toe Out look

Long story short, had a shop replace my upper and lower ball joints, they also did an alignment. Now that the jeep is back in the garage I swear it has a toe out, but rule of thumb is that there is suppose to be like 1/8 inch toe in. Am I just seeing things or is it normal for it to just look that way even tho its correct? I have 4 inch lift with 35's

The best answer will come from measuring the toe. You can do it with two straight edges and a tape measure.

Proper toe has the optical illusion of toe out IMO. I have no fenders so it's more exaggerated on my jeep. IDK if it's the way the front body rolls in a bit or what, but I know what you're talking about. That is not to say you're toe is set ideally, but if you're just talking "looks" then don't stress about it. I'd trust your alignment specs though.

It must be just me, I measured and it came out just fine. @resharp001 glad to know that I am not the only 1 that thinks a proper toe looks like a toe out.
