1992 4runner Rough Country Lift!!! Bad Idea? Doesnt seem right!!

Ok so i thought i would go with the rough country 5in lift on my 1992 4runner i just bought to save a little $$$ but i just got the rear done other than installing the shocks that do not fit!!! it seems like the rear wheels are a little farther forward in the wheel wells than they should be? it came with new extended upper rear arms but no lower arm brackets! does that seem right to all you?? it sure dont seem right to me (seems like all other kits have em) what should i do to fix it without ruining the geometry? i included a pic of it, there is no bumper so it looks even worse but its about 1.5 in farther forward measured from the tire to the fender curve.

Taht's pretty standard across all the lifts man, it actually helps with the driveshaft issue's, but there are aftermarket arms out there somewhere, seen them on here but don't remember where, seems they aren't to pricey either.

From the looks of the instructions, it does not have a lower control arm drop bracket:

Nothing wrong with that, as the spring compresses the control arm moves the axle back, if you moved it back you would rub when tucked.
