Post Lift Alignment Specs Inside

Bilstein 5100 on 3rd perch setting with stock front springs, netted 2" lift. OME 895E rear springs with an OME 10mm trim packer on driver's side, with 5100's. Netted about 2" in the rear.

I used the no spring compressor method to install the front struts and for the life of me I can't understand why anybody would mess with a spring compressor on this job. Literally just support the LCA with a floor jack, unbolt the ball joint knuckle, loosen LCA bolts front and rear, unbolt upper/lower strut bolts and let the jack down, everything just comes out without issue. Make sure you mark the cam bolts (none of them moved on mine) and button it back up. EZ PEAZY

This shop did the work after I wasted too much time at another shop here in Vegas. The other shop tried to charge me $300 to get close to what I was asking for. Saying they were probably going to have to do an electronics reset for $150 after the alignment. The shop that ultimately did the alignment for $100 total out the door with no BS.

If I had to nitpick, I didn't get any cross caster but going down the highway it's very good. I can detect it slightly wants to go with the crown of the road but a quick correction holds it in a stable line for a hundreds of feet.

So I've got about 750 total miles on my new tires. About 700 miles after the lift and alignment, most of those miles being highway. I did do a pretty ricky off-road trail but took it pretty slow. I have a little wear starting to show on only a few lugs on the outside edge of the drivers front tire. It's not uniform around the whole tire.

Any ideas why this could be happening? I'm running 40psi in the tires and the ride is still very plush, you guys think I should bump up the front pressure to 45psi? Could that help?

Think I could have had some rubber scrub off on rocks that easily?

Allignment looks good, I'm going to guess it's a tire not well balanced.

I pulled off the road in a snowstorm in Utah and went to get back on the road and had some wheel spin and I think that driver front when it hit the pavement wore down a couple of the lugs slightly. The rest of the lugs are still in perfect condition. Balance feels spot on.
