    Hey all - 1st timer here hoping for some advice.

    I have '17 Tundra platinum, with a 6" pro-comp lift kit riding on 22" fuel contras wrapped in 35" Ridge Grapplers.

    2 Issues:
    1. Pretty bad outside tire wear which i believe is caused from
    2. poor camber, especially during turns.
    I've got an offroad specialty shop that did the build and for the most part, very happy with it. They've aligned it twice and rotated the tires, however i was just there this morning and i showed them how far on the outside edge the tire runs, when the wheel's turned.

    The tech mentioned it might have to do with the control arms.

    Anyone else experience the same thing - and - identify a fix?

    I see a lot of other tundra owners around wtih lifted trucks and their tires appear fine. Hoping this is addressable.

    Thanks so much for feedback/advice.

    if possible, go to an alignment shop that does it the old school way and doesn't just plug in numbers(not saying that's what your shop did, just saying). when i did my RL 6" kit, I brought it to an alignment shop that would set it up and do it the old way without the digital stuff. i've been running mine for about 15k miles now and tires are still wearing well. if you don't have the option of finding a shop to do it the old school way, get the alignment specs from the lift mfg and give them to the shop doing the alignment and have them match it to the best of their abilities.
