    There's going to be (already is) a massive dog pile here and I don't have time to read through it all. So sorry if this is already stated but:

    1. Spacer won't cause a different type of alignment issue than any other lift

    2. Lift related alignment (running out of caster) affects driveability but not tire wear

    3. The only thing that could cause what you're describing, from an alignment perspective, would be if you didn't get the truck aligned AT ALL after installing the spacers.

    4. You might possibly have weird tire wear based on tires rubbing somewhere. If so - that's not related to the lift itself but rather the rim width offset and backspacing combination you chose. You possibly just need to do a little trimming, or it's possible you have a bad rim size for our trucks with way too little backspacing and it's causing crazy rubbing and tirewear.

    That's all I've got.

    Hear all about the spacers , but nothing said about the backspacing on the wheels ? with this said even additional backspacing will put added stress on front end parts .
    Thought I would throw it out there just in case the OP didnt think about it as part of a possible problem . I can see where back spacing alone would chew up wheel bearings premature

    I do understand that you didn't type this^, but when you type "^^^this" it implies you are agreeing with what the person you directed the word "^^^this" towards.

    Wait, I'm sorry, what?

    @rngr
    I agree that along with some additional things that other members have mentioned, UCA's will most likely be an integral part of achieving a decent alignment. I'm just stating that not all of us that have been in the 3" range require aftermarket UCA's to get there. Perfect, not at all but if the truck still handles to your liking and tire wear is acceptable then why change them out?

    Wow,
    So one day I watched this man, clearly mentally disabled, feeding the birds in a park.

    "What a nice action', I thought to myself.
    Continuing to watch the gentleman I quickly realized the joy he took from the Pigeons fighting over the food. I have to say folks, the information and tips are great!!!! Reading these epic battles is also quite entertaining. WIN-WIN IMO!!
