Suspension alignment problem

I just installed a 4" skyjacker lift on my 1979 f-150. One tire now sticks out of the fender and other is well inside. Also, I have an extra inch of lift on one side than the other. The coil springs appaer to be tilted. How do I go about fixing these problems.

As a sidenote who sells a pitman arm puller to remove the pitman arm on the same truck.

79 POS 1st, sounds like a coil spring is not in its proper place, if a shop did the work have them fix it , as for the pitman arm you best check with a shop again , you may need different arm, for the 4" lift , you can rent a puller.also make sure the springs are right ones. good luck
