Default Inner rear tire wear??????

[IMG][/IMG]

What is causing this?? My first thoughts were bent axle tubes.(which they are not). Trucks never been wrecked, so defiantly no frame damage either. Caused by g80 locking?? Bad shocks?? Axle wrap?? Please give me your input.

Did they used to be on the front, and were rotated to the back? How long have you had the truck?

Also, have the alignment checked. If rear toe is off thats your typical wear. If not, Id bet they were on the front for a long time

I have owned it a year without rotating. With plans for new tires. They had nice even ware when I bought it. How hell do you adjust tow on a solid axle?? Is it adjustable??
Could it be because different from factory offset on the aftermarket wheels??

Ever ran too low of air pressure in it? Some types of tires just wear very odd sometimes..

No, tire pressure is good, and has been.

Something would have to be bent (rear axle) for that wear to be caused while on the rear. Get an alignment shop to check 4 wheel alignment, and post up the specs.
