    I did XFR Upper Control Arms, Camber bolts and Clunk washer

    No problem with uneven front tire wear since. That was 14K ago.
    Thanks for replying. I also tried XRF, but I had a bad experience with them. Replaced them with Moog. I've come to realize the only way to overcome the geometry issues are adjustable control arms. I hope to be able to add these one day.

    Strange? Al, are you the only owner of your truck? If not, maybe PO was involved in a wreck which is causing havoc with your front end alignment?

    That's great, I'm curious what your front height is,center to the lip? 20s or 22s?
    One owner before me, no wrecks. This is a known problem on lowered trucks. Why do you think Stifflers spent so much research and development on their adjustable UCAs? Lol
    My condition is exasperated by the light weight springs I'm using now. But the condition existed with the Belltech lowering springs I used previously. I am planning on going back to the Belltechs but adding the isolators this time. I miss the firmer handling and it will not negatively affect my short times. In fact, it might help them.
