kinda weird, but I only have outer wear on the passenger side of the front tire on mine. put a 5" lift kit and the wear hasn't changed with new parts. I was told by a tire shop that Dodges have wear issues on the passenger sides notoriously and there is no fix. any truth to that, I don't know but Ive seen a few other trucks with the same deal so it leads on to be.

I have never heard of that either, and mine doesn't have that issue.
I'd probably have to guess that the shop couldn't figure it out, so they just BSed you rather than admit it.

I guess it's 20 lashes for me (please use a wet noodle). I didn't notice the 4x4 part. Shame on me! LOL

RE: Tire Wear
Thanks for the quick replies.
If there is Positive camber (causing outside tire wear), can i install 1 Degree offset ball joint(s) to correct this wear problem???
Thanks again.

Did you read reply #2?
Tire wear on outside edge- Toe is off
Tire wear on inside edge- Camber is off.
Once again, acceptable toe is .00-.1
CAMBER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE

It sounds toed in. You can set the toe yourself with another person and a tape measure. I align all my vehicles myself and they all have even tire wear, and that includes the "notorious" TTB.
Depending on if the camber is positive or negative it can wear either the inside or outside of the tire. Same goes for the toe.
