Hello Everyone,
i just buy an 1999 ifs 4 runner, lifted with 3" ball joint spacers and 31" tires

That looks like a 2nd generation 90-95 4runner. Easy way to tell is that 99s have a rack and pinion steering and a coil over shock setup in the front.
In the past on the second gens, a lot of people would run the autozone idler and there was a bronze bushing kit for it. Do a search for idler arm upgrades on here and you should get lots of ideas.

My fault, the idler won't help you. The extreme angle on the tie rod in the first picture you posted is from the suspension being at full droop. What does the angle look like at ride height?
Is there some problem you are having with the steering or do you just not like the angle?
