Post subject:  Bad Tire Wear, alignment specs?
So I have a lift and wrangler duratracs(see sig for details) and went to go rotate the tires the other day and noticed that the outside of both front tires were pretty significantly worn. I have done 2-3 alignments and 2-3 rotations since last july when i installed the lift and tires.

Anyways, I brought it in today to get aligned and the thing was almost perfectly in spec, with the toe being the only thing out. Is there a non-stock alignment recommendation? I am wondering if it needs some extra camber or something?

Do the wheels go to positive camber in corners or something when the body rolls. Thats the only thing i can think of.

If toe was out that is most likely the cause of the tire wear.

If you frequently tow with your KJ that could be another cause as is worn parts.

Dont do any towing but I do have a hitch mount 2 bike rack on it pretty much all summer and usually 1 or 2 bikes 3 days a week. Thats probably pushing 100 lbs between the rack and two bikes.

Whats going on with your left rear toe?
It should be nearly zero.

I'm not sure. He pointed that out. I've had a recent clunk from the rear so I'm wondering if there is a bad arm. Although, the other side is near 0 so maybe a bad bearing?

i think i have my old alignment sheets so ill try to go back and look and see if that rear tire was out of wack then too.
