Front End Upgrades?

[rwalk]

With it only being one tire makes me worry. That doesnt seem right at all.

That's what I was thinking.. But it's not just one tire out of the 4 that's bad it's whatever tire goes on the front passenger side when I rotate them, which makes me think it's something about my truck, but can't figure out what

Thats crazy. You would almost have to think that would be an alignment issue in the front. But you say its good. So I honestly have not a snowballs chance in hell giving you a good suggestion

Was the article specifically about Ram or IFS in general? I'd like to take a read, especially if about Ram. I know what will wear quicker but not what has aftermarket parts available for our trucks

Yup it's very weird I have no idea what to think, the alignment was tested out recently (well after the problem was discovered) and was perfect

I know. I priced them out as well. The nitto mud graps run 3 here. Although I havent done much research to find a better price

Careful of width, x15.5s will most likely rub pretty hard. I'm looking into the 40x14.5 super swamper m16's which should only have a minor rub on the air dam and also a minor rub on the sway bar at full lock with my planned setup

Do they make a skinny 40? Like 13.5?

Not for a 20 unless you want to go with 150 pound military tires.. They do for a 17

I don't even know if you can run 40x14.5s on 9" wide wheels that you have, so if you really want 40s then new wheels may be in your future anyway...

Get them in a 17 more sidewall if you off road and both wheels and tires are cheaper in that size

True. But I love the look of the 20 in rim. I will look at some pics of 17 in wheels on lifted trucks and see if i like em

Not to stick my nose in but could it be a failing shock on that side? In my past experience a bad shock can cause uneven tire wear. The other issue could be a wheel bearing (doubt it) or tie rod end going out. I had a shop do an alignment on my tuck and yet still had issues. On further inspection the tie rod ends were shot, one was literally ready to fall apart, shop said nothing when doing the alignment. Just some stuff to check out.

Good input man. I wouldn't have thought of that at all

Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely look into that. Could possibly be a tie rod end
