    I have just put some new tires on my truck and noticed it looks like the outer edge of the back tires are not touching the ground. I checked the tire pressure and all four tires are sitting around 30 psi. but the front tires are not doing it.

    It's probably due to the weight difference. Try lowering the rear tire pressure a couple of psi and see if you get a better contact patch.

    Both above suggestions are spot on. I've got the Wrangler Authority's and I would have to run the rears down below 30 psi to keep that even wear line.
