Default Oops i lifted it a little too high

So my stock coils were a little saggy...about 5 inches. Which made my *** end with a 4 inch lift look really tall. So i lfted the front 11 inches to compensate. Anyway now the tires in the front stick inward (vertically not horizontally) pretty bad, to point where i cant put them on until i do a mini-alignment and its able to be taken to a shop for a real one. Can someone give me a quick rundown on how to get them right real quick?

Use string and a measuring tape. If you look up DIY alignment it will show you all the info on how to set the toe too get you to the alignment shop.

By inward are you describing your camber or toe angle.
camber is top to bottom angle and toe is front to back

coils so im assuming its got a ttb front end? if its a camber problem with these you just need to reshim. if its toe just use a tape or a marked stick and measure inside of tires in front and rear of tire and adjust accordingly. (negative camber is tops inward and positive is tops outward. also i wouldnt have lifted the front 11 to level it out. I would just get new 4 inch lift springs or 6 for "level'd" look. my 2 cents... 2nd year auto student so im still learning too. correct me if im wrong
