Exclamation F250 Steering issue

I have done a search through here and have been looking around and i cannot find an answer.
I have recently bought a 1997 F250 XL and i have a steering problem. It has a lift with 35" tires on it. Its not extreme but fairly mild. But everytime i turn slowly in either forward or reverse the edges of my tire seem to roll under itself or something. It seems like the outside of my tire or inside will catch the road when i make tight turns in and out of parking spots. I can see the outside edge of my tires becoming worn and starting to take small chunks out of it. And when i turn the truck will bog down and i will have to give it some gas just to get it to move. I cannot figure out the problem. I have engage and disengaged the 4 wheel drive numerous times and it still does this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And thank you in advance.
-Ryan

Post a pic or two. So, it's like the camber goes almost full positive/negative when your turning? Is that what you mean? Any clunking or anything when driving straight?

No noise at all. Its literally as if the tire is rolling under. It happens mostly when im a full turn. Ill post a picture up in just a minute. I have to get my cable from the cab.

I think i found my problem. See the rub marks on the inside of the tire? see that knobby thing that has a shiny spot? I think thats what my tire is rubbing on. Possibly wheel spacers will correct this?
