possible bearing out of adjustment?
Cattleman84 and Midnightrider909 Thank this. -
And regarding TA the best thing to do with them is not let them near your truck.
skellr and Midnightrider909 Thank this. -
Midnightrider909 and JonJon78 Thank this.

See some starting on the rear drives also, what does the other side look like? Same?
Might be time for a bearing and alignment check.
You run any balance products?
Know someone with a 730, had to get that done about 75k.Midnightrider909 Thanks this. -
. This is the type of work expected at TA

Is it cupping all the way across the tire on each block of tread? Looks like it.
IMO it looks like a tire pressure issue. I run mine at 95 on the rear. With you being a team maybe your building a lot of heat therefore making the temperature go too high for extended periods of time?
If it was a shock issue the tire would be wavy up and down around the tire from my experience. I’ve never had much or any alignment problems on the back. On the front it’s been common and shows up where the outer inch or so wears down much more then the rest. Flat tires being ran get worn down to a pulp pretty quickly. Low air I’ve saw create this cupping.
You can still see dirt on the outer edges of your tires which also leads me to believe maybe the pressures are too high.
Wish I could be more helpful. Checking the bearings seems like a good idea. I just find it hard to believe it’s out of alignment or bad shocks after 70k miles. After you run the truck a couple hundred miles down the road, pull over and if the shock is cold it’s bad, if it’s warm (operating temp) it’s working fine.25(2)+2, Midnightrider909, SteveScott and 1 other person Thank this. -
