hey guys i got a 4 inch rough country lift on my truck maybe 5 months old put a tube bumper and 12000lb winch now tires are wearing bad on the inside will putting 6 inch lift spring help and stiffen it up some off road it seems really soft in the rocks and hard wheeling what can i do to help this

So let me make sure I have this straight.

You installed a lift, and presumably had it aligned right away, then some time passed, the springs settled in a bit, you added some weight to the front, and now the tires are wearing on the inside.

I assume you have not had it aligned again since the first one after the lift was installed.

yes that's right and i want to stiffen it up a little be it bottomes out in the rocks and don't want the drop bracket to go through the d35 i swapped it

 

[adsm08]

Well some longer springs might help the bottoming out issue. I am not sure about doing it without the drop bracket.

Your tire wear issue is an alignment issue. The springs settled, the winch added more weight, those two together have thrown off the camber, hence the inside tire wear.

okay ill give the 6 inch springs a shot once see if they help and get it re aligned and go from there i see your from northumberland u ever go to trevorton

[adsm08]

I'm not really setup for wheeling. My truck is more tool than toy.
