    I can't say...
    I don't know the factory spec or where you're at currently.
    If you have an alignment sheet with the specified ranges, I could.

    The added scrub is going to pull your tires out further, as you drive.

    Toe looks like this sitting still. /-\
    Driven it looks like this. I-I

    Camber looks like this sitting still. \-/
    Driven it look like this. I-I

    When you add positive scrub...

    Little update this is what the right front side of the tire looks like. I’m no expert but that just doesn’t seem right at all. Could to much per load cause to much camber? I have about 1.75 inches of tread show. Should I back it off to 1.5 and see?

    Could be camber wear...could be dynamic toe out wear.
    Is it worse on one side?
    What are your tire and wheel specs?

    Solid alignment. That much caster is nice to keep the tires out of the cab mounts and the back of the fenders. I personally think you are overthinking the tire wear.

    17x8.5 Ray10's. Tires will be 285/70/17, either nitto ridge grappler or falken wildpeak at3w. Haven't decided fully, and don't know if i should go SL or C. I do mostly highway as it's my DD. The tires will be on the truck from May to mid-November, with dedicated snows in the winter.

    I would go back and have them put it on the rack and double check it. Will it annoy them, maybe....But I had my T4R aligned recently and it was PERFECT on paper and it just didn’t seem right. Sure enough, when I took it back the toe was out on the right front tire.

    No idea yet... i'll figure that out in september. probably 265/75/16 or 265/70/17. Either Nokian, or DMV2's or equivalent, on OEM rims.
