New shocks + tire wear

Last September I spent medium money and replaced my front shocks with leveling shocks and I got new all-terrain tires installed. I was told that leveling shocks would give me 2", but in reality it gave me about 3.5" - So the front is higher than the back.

I just got my second tire rotation and the technician came to me and said my tires were cupping and wearing intermittently on my shoulder lugs. Some of the shoulder lugs are not worn as much as others. He said this is because the front end is higher than the back end. Does that make any sense? If it does, then I'm going to replace my shocks with normal shocks.

 

Pressures and alignment have a lot to do with wear, especially if the suspension is working properly.

But why not lower the front to the 2" you expected and get rid of the bro lean? Are the installed components not adjustable?

 

Did you get an alignment after installation of the lift? Have you checked the front end to see if you have worn ball joints?

 

Good questions, yes I replaced the upper and lower control arms myself 2 years ago and I got an alignment after the tires.

 

And Clearwater, once I determine that the shocks are the issue, I am going to put normal shocks back on it and not have it leveled, back the way it was

 

Some tires wear like that normally. Which if why a cross pattern rotation is usually recommend for heavy trucks or four wheel drive.

 

And the shocks are not adjustable. There is just a round plate on the top
