    I've done a mod or two
    Little more air in the tires to push out the middle surface otherwise they'll continue to do this and be unsavable.

    Check your lower ball joints. This is what my Silverado did. Turned out to be bad ball joints and out of lime truck.

    toe is the front of the tires

    bottom is camber. your camber bolts may need adjusted to push the bottoms out. alignment shop is the best way to make sure everything is aligned.

    I have a feeling they may have screwed it up, but who knows, i have thought about dropping them a notch and getting another alignment to see if that helps. Just really thought the stock components could handle 1.75.

    I'll try to get a pic at lunch. My wear is on the inside of the tires, not even wear either, more like looking at a mountain range. I've since moved them to the back and they are starting to even out some, but i'll try to get a pic of them too.

    I am looking at these UCAs to win the battle I have against positive camber showing the same tire wear as you.
    I have gone through a set of Hankook 265-70R16s w/rotation in 20k miles!
    I know it is the OEM UCAs,, I just haven't pulled the trigger yet...

    I recently got JBA UCAs and I'm 100% satisfied.

    How challenging is getting the front aligned with JBAs?

    I didn't align it myself but I was there when the shop did it. They didn't have any problems.

    Did you have to disassemble the ball joint to get this installed? If so, how did you get the metal plate off of the top of the ball joint?

    not sure why I didn't see this before but I have 2+" in front, alignment is fine.


    factory ball joints are pressed into the UCA. looks like those have their own.
