2003 Awd tire wear

[Brad111]

Non air ride

2003 yukon xl 1500 that is Awd with rough country keys and new tie rods, idler arm/bracket/ and pitman arm

16x10 wheels and 33” nitto ridge grapplers

Went for alignment after lift and suspension components and I’ve started to notice that the tires are really cupping on the inside

Could the upper/lower control arms have bad bushings that aren’t allowing it to move like it should?

I don’t think I’ve put 1,000miles on it since I got the alignment

back to the alignment shop. thats to soon to be cupping.

i ran 33's on a 03 gmc pick up, keys rear lift blocks out side used to cup up on the out side by 5,000 miles. then rotate em. key part of tire life with larger tires is rotating them.

How close are upper control arms to your bump stops? If you cranked your keys to much you lost your downward travel and alignment adjustment. You can't get enough alignment adjustment to correct the camber if this is the case.

I have 33's with 20,000 miles zero cupping old suspension but still semi tight.Only changed shocks with bilsteins.Usually what i found was cupping was almost always caused by bad shocks or struts.
