I thought SFA trucks were obsolved from irregular tire wear up front compared to IFS??? My truck has tight ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. and the front tires are worn more on the outside then the inside.

The only other explanation is this- when I bought the 37s I have on it, they already had about 20k miles on them from a late model 3/4-1 ton Chevy or Ford... The rear tires were worn considerably more then the fronts when I bought them, but I thought the tire wear was even... thought...

Now, after about 5k miles on my truck with the more worn tires up front, I am seeing the outer worn out more then the inner on both sides...

What do you think? Previous owners truck, or do I have an alignment issue?
