I can imagine the tie rod is at an upward angle since the car is lowered, so if you raise it up the tie rod will essentially move back to a more level position, which I *think* will toe the wheels OUT.

I could be completely opposite on that though, I have no idea what angle (up or down) the tie rod is at when the car is lowered. I've never really looked if I'm honest.

Either way, if you're changing the suspension geometry, just get an alignment done.

It will toe out. Just take a precise ride height measurement on every corner and lower it back down after the tow. It should still be aligned.
