suspension question
OK I have a quick question that I know someone can answer. Iam having a unusuall wear pattern on the outer edges of both of my front tires.the passenger tire is a little more worn than the drivers. The truck pullsslightly to the passenger side if in the slow lane when I'm in the fast lane itdoes not pull even half as much. When I hit the brakes the truck does not pullhard to ether side it stays straight and true. I know that on most cars andtrucks if the alignment is out and you hit the brakes you'll pull extremelyhard. My question could the passenger tire being worn more than the driverscause this problem. The shop wants $25 just to put it on the rack to get a estimatebecause its a 1 ton. Thanks for the advice. I know it could be hard to answerbut appreciate any help that you can give. Also what would be a safe load limitfor a jack and stands to support the front of a f350 dually w a 7.3 and aautomatic transmition also. in case I want to switch the front tires around..

Sounds like the camber is off a bit(tires tipped out at the top), thus wearing the outside edge more. This will also cause it to pull to one side. With the crown of the road being worse in the right lane, it will pull worse then in the fast lane. My new '96 was so bad it wore out the LF tire in about 10K miles, where the RF tire was still like new.
Is it cupping? that would be toe-in issue.
Any 2.5 to 3 ton jack and stands would be sufficient to support the truck.
