Advice on alignment 2001 F250 6.8 4x4

Hello, I have an 01 F250 4x4 with the 6.8l and have had it since '04. The front tires have always worn with an apparent camber issue but everytime I get an alignment done it is in spec or nothing needed adjustment. I am aware that camber adjustments require a sleeve swap but but with the alignment results always in spec I am reluctant to ask they be changed just because... The ball joints are tight, new steering linkage, shocks and anti-sway bushings recently replaced. I was hoping someone here had some advice. This is a daily driver with not much in the way of hauling or towing. On the stock 16in wheels I typically run 295/75 BFG AT's(tires in the photos) but I currently have 285/75 BFG AT's on. Tire pressure is another concern of mine, am currently running 45 front and back and was hoping to get some advice there as well. Thanks!

Your photos won't load but if you are having outside tread wear you may be on the outer edge of the specs and it's like pulling teeth to get someone to change the shims and dealers are the worst. I'm having that problem on my 2013 and when it needs tires I'm taking it to a truck alignment shop not a dealer before I change the tires so they can see the problem.
