Rear toe issue

Last time I had my alignment done, the tech had the rear toe maxed out and still couldn't get rid of the toe-in. My car rides a little high due to no interior and a single can, but I couldn't imagine it pulling the suspension so far out of alignment that it can't be fixed. I've pulled the rear subframe a few times swapping out rear ends. Not sure if maybe I did something wrong when I put it back in. Does anyone have any ideas?

When the suspension compresses it gains negative camber and toes in so the car being raised should cause more toe out.

Is your DTSS eliminated or are the stock bushings still in there?

Stock bushings are still in there. I didn't think the ride height should have made that huge of a difference anyway.
