    inside tire wear on wide base tires, front drive axle ... recent 3 axle alignment, new wheel bearings and new power divider, shocks little over year old ...

    currently at tire shop getting the drives rotated front to back on same side ... did i do alignment a wee bit too late or something else i need to look into?

    I second the wheel bearings notion. There's a specific procedure for setting the preload. You might check the MD Alignment website.

    What off set wheels are you running ? Looks like axle flex? 2 inch off set as ment to be used are a bad design . Flip them around they work fine.
