Nice! lol

I know what you mean, I don't get much snow in El Paso, but when I vivsit New Mexico, or go to the desert, I want to be able to handle whatever is in front of me, and stock wouldn't be able to.

About the rotating, can I flip the tires on the rim, so that what was near the engine is now facing out on the rim? If so, I should be able to add a couple years to the life of the tire if they continue to wear like they have been.

Depends on the tire. As long as it's not a directional tread (most truck tires aren't) then you could do it. You'd just have pay someone to re-mount and balance every time you do.

Or, you could have them set the camber a tiny extra in so that the tires are actually riding a touch to the outside when driving straight.

Stock don't mean to much. Mine is doing the same. Bone stock suspension and tires

theres no reason to dismount them and have them spun around. when you rotate them take the rears and bring them straight forwards and bring the fronts to the back and swap sides

Then you'd just have inside wear on all 4. Only way to even out the inside-outside is to remount.

This thread is ancient. I did solve the issue on mine years ago with a proper full realignment and reset of the toe-in. Been running 37s on very curvy roads for many years since without further issue.
