Default 4 inch lift HELP

Tonight I put on a 4 inch lift kit on my G1 Yamaha. Finished up the front then the rear and put on the new mags and 20 inch tires. Here is my question, after putting the cart in reverse and backing up slowly I noticed the front tires really leaning in at the top. Put it in forward and they straightened back up. I was told that Yamaha did that and if it was bad I would have to put on over ride springs over my existing shocks. Can someone tell me what size over springs I need?
Thanks everyone.

Get a pic of the tires leaning in and after you drive forward. It's normal for then to lean going backwards.

Thats wierd that its leaning in the back, normally Yammys tend to lean in the front. You must have somthing on there wrong or maybe backwards. I would check all the bolts and if there all wrench tight then you can scratch that off the list.

Do G1-s have bearings in the rear or somthing that you took out and put back in? Sorry, not very knowledgeable with G1's...
