Back in June, I had a new set of Rancho 9000xl shocks installed on my 2006 ram. I also had a new set of bfg rugged trails and I had the truck aligned. It has around 5k miles since the swap and I noticed that the outside of both front tires are showing whats considered to be feathering I believe... Its a sharp edge on one side of the thread and smooth rounded on the other. It's on both outside edges of the front tires. I run my front shocks on 4 or 5 softness for a softer ride. Tire psi is 60, which is what I ran on the fronts before as well. Would this be the problem, or is this an alignment problem?


Thanks

too much toe in on your alignment

If it were mine, I'd bring it back to the shop that did your work.

Yeah, but driving in OK with hard compound road tires like BFG RT's, should show NO wear after 5k mi.
Heck I can go about 10k on agressive AT's or MT's driving mountian highways before I see any front tire feathering, then swap them X pattern to the back and smooth them out again!
Something's wrong with the alignment, probably too much toe in.
