truck has been lowered (no c-notch but not a lot of frame bang either) I noticed the insides of the tires are wearing down fast.. someone said that my rear end might be bent.. is there a way to repair this or do i have to buy a new rear end?

I got under it and looked at it and it appears to not be bent... I dont think a pic would show anything

Wow, your REAR tires are showing wear? Yea something is not right especially since it's a solid axle in the rear. The only thing I can think of is maybe your axle isn't centered right. What did you use to lower it?

could be bearings, no?

Poss. a bent axle due to hitting the frame after being lowered because of no c-notch?

You wouldn't be able to see a 0.5 degree bend in the rear axle, but that would be enough to wear tires rapidly. To be sure, before you spend your hard-earned cash on new parts, have an alignment shop check it for you.

I'm curious about the history of your tires. Did you buy them new or used? Have the tires that are on the rear of your truck ever been on the front of your truck, or somebody elses truck? If they were worn unevenly on the front of your(or somebody else's) truck, then you put them on the rear of your truck, they will continue the same wear pattern thru their life cycle. In other words, they don't stop wearing on the edge of the tire just because you put them on the rear.

when i bought the truck they were already on the rear and brand spankin new (still had the little *******)
these tires have about 3.5k on them and the insides are at the wear indicaters.. i have driven it hard but not near hard enough to burn up a set in 3k miles

Probably a bent axle housing then. Have the alignment checked to be sure.
