drop spindles

I've put some drop spindles on that I bought from McGaughy's and the drop was great but the toe on the passenger side was in about 3 complete turns on the tie rod sleeve. Is this normal? I did a simple measurement alignment to get it out of my mother's driveway (where all the work is done) to get to my house. Going to take it in for alignment soon. I just don't understand that many say drop spindles don't need alignments. Any opinions?

68 c10 lwb with 15x8/15x10 6lug rallys and a 3.5 front 4 back drop.

I'll find out soon as I installed a set of Early Classic spindles today on my 69 SWB.
