    Shocks all around and all axle alignment, it is actually caused by rear shocks being bad.

    I don’t get fleets, shocks have a limited life of 100k or maybe 125k and then they decline quickly. I’ve seen a truck with 750k on the clock with original factory shocks.

    I had all types of problems with steer tires since I bought my truck. They would last 80-115k.
    I did the following:
    Michelin 16 ply on the steers;
    New tires = new shocks every time (smh on this one - I thought it was obvious);
    All axle alingment.

    600k miles later I’m on my 3 rd set of those Michelins and they on average last 200k and are still good to go to on the trailer because they have even wear.
