Does anyone know if lifting the front of the truck will help or hurt the cupping prob on most all the rams I've looked at, regardless of gen.

Lifting itself no, but an improper lift or bad front end can cause it.

Tire imbalance causes it more than anything too

Improper alignment which has nothing to do with lifting can cause cupping

Shocks , ball joints, alignment being bad can all cause tires to wear funny

I've been an auto tech all my life in the body business seen all kinds of dodges Jen 3 on every truck I look at has the outside edge cupped on the front tires I definitely tore up a set with a bad tie rod end but I have that all fixed a brand new alignment an Inside line on n alignment guy and I still can't get the tire to stop cupping I might need to find a new alignment guy I'm looking for some help here any other thoughts other than bad parts
