For curiosity sake I decided to do a crude front alignment check on my lift. Its a Japanese import and has ROW M030 suspension. I used 1 1/4" angle iron x 27" long on 4 inch blocks and a tape measure clamped to one side. The toe in seems parallel, maybe 1/16" max. I decided to put a level vertically on the tires and I measured 1/2" gap which equates to around 1.5 degrees negative camber. This explains the wear. The shop said they only recommend a stock alignment for the street so thee results are odd. I guess I have to decide if shorter tire life is worth the improved handling I am supposedly getting.
