Tires Cupping

[mattymax]

Id hate to blame the RC at this point, but I have no other idea.

 

My truck had 29,000 miles on it, bought used at 24,000....07 new body style

 

I put on an RC 2" front leveling kit and rear 2" blocks

 

 

My front tired are getting pretty bad cupping

 

What you do guys think

Did you do an alignment on it after you installed it? If not theres your culprit, they always require an alignment.

 

IF you did do an alignment, how often are you rotating tires? Are all your balljoints/tie rod ends OK?

You need an alignment if thats not been done The softer the tire, the quicker it will cup.

Sounds like an alignment issue. I installed a RC level and 3" rear blocks. I just got my truck back from the alignment shop, after the install I was 7/32 off. If you didn't have it aligned after the install, that's the problem.

Not The level kit. Alignment or lack or tire rotations. I rotate mine every oil change. Also u could of had a alignment but all it takes is one nasty bump and it out

I did have an alignment. Bought the truck with 24K miles, and Im at about 30k now.

 

I guess I need a rotation.

 

Fronts to the back and backs to the front ?

Yep.. check to make sure your front ends all tight when you do the rotation. 6k miles you shoudlnt have much cupping.

[Spurshot]

Just me, but anytime I see cupping, I think of checking steering and suspension components.

[mattymax]

Im gonna rotate this weekend and make sure all my RC stuff is stuff

 

thanks guys
