Unever Tire Wear... Need some help

[KSpride]

OK.. Heres the deal. I have already searched the other threads and could not find any help for this. I am running the Superlift 4" kit with 32x11.5 BFG TA/KO. Well when I was changing the brakes the other day we noticed that both the front tires are wearing a lot faster on the inside than on the out. I have no clue as to how I can get that problem fixed. I was already planning on doing a TT/shackles. So if this might help then no prob. I did have an alignment done and there was no problems. I am gonna get another one tmw just to make sure it didnt get knocked out of whack on one of my long trips.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.....

What's the tire pressure?

 

[KSpride]

30psi

I have a similar problem. My 91 X sport has a superlift 5.5 and BFG KM 33 12.5. The outside of the front tires is wearing more. The shop says that the alienment is correct. I suspect that the camber is off slightly. My solution is to run higher pressure (36 to 38 psi) in the tire to wear the middle of the tire a little more. Then I will remount the the tires so that in is out. This will not fix the cause but should give the tires maximum life. I am also going to try another front end shop.

sounds alignment related... get a printout if you can.... some, not all, shops only adjust the toe... caster, and camber should also be adjusted as well if they need to be.....

Both sound like alignment issues. Take them to other shops.

if its wearing funny on the inside only, ill agree with alec and jim. its 99.99% chance that its alignment.

Thanks for all the input. I'll fill you in on everything.

KSpride,
Yes that is negative camber, you raising your torsion bars will help give more positive camber, also when you do this rotate the tires, or they will continue to track in the same groove.
Unclemeat,
For gods sake, let some air out, before you blow a tire, you have positive camber, turn your cam adjusters in just a hair, also rotate your tires to change the tracking on them.
