Passenger rear wheel out of alignment??

I took my runner to Firestone to get an alignment since I have their lifetime alignment service (seriously considering switching to discount tire). I just got my vehicle back about 10 minutes ago. They told me that they could not perform the alignment on the front because the rear passenger wheel's toe angle is -3.35 degrees out of alignment. They didn't offer me any solutions as to what would be the cause of this. They only said, "take it to a frame shop". I do have a lift installed Front: Bilstein 5100 Height Adjustable Shocks (24-248730) Toytec Front Lift Coil Springs (112-620) Toytec Differential Drop (TAC-DR) Rear: Bilstein 5100 Long Travel Rear Shocks (9602E703) Stock Land Cruiser 8 Wrap Rear Coils I will note that I do not have a pan hard drop bracket or an adjustable pan hard bar installed. I am having eimkeith’s pan hard correction kit ( https://www.toyota-4runner.org/for-sale-suspension-wheels-tires/230779-fs-eimkeith-pck-panhard-correction-kits-3rd-gen-$89-4th-5th-gen-$93-50-a.html ) welded in place on the 12th of this month. I have another alignment scheduled for the 13th of this month. Do you think the pan hard bar could be the cause of this? Upon visual inspection of the wheel, I can clearly see the wheel sitting in the wheel well at an angle. The front of the tire protrudes further out of the wheel well than the rear. I attempted to take a photo of this but I’m not sure how well you can tell. Are there any other potential causes for this? I am headed outside to take the wheel off and check things out, but I wanted to get this posted up first. I’ve attached a few pictures and the alignment sheet from Firestone here. Please let me know what you think. I have family coming into town on the 16th of this month and I really need the runner to be drivable. I will post back with anything I find after getting the wheel off. TIA!

Parts & Tools

Well, I have purchased all of the needed parts and tools and I'll be completing the work this weekend. While I am doing this project, I thought it was a good time to take on some of the other projects that needed to happen to the truck.

I attached a PDF of the parts list. Not sure how well that works on this forum.
