I have to figure out whats wrong all my steering parts are good i have checked and so have they (tire shop) but maybe im missing something hee can you help or give me a pointer or tip ? I have had my BF Goodrich KO2 on there and they lasted 2 1/2 years . I have new ones but i dont want to put them on and ruin them .

Typically a "good" alignment shop will not align it without finding out if something is worn out. They will know that it will not hold the alignment and you will be back complaining.
I had tire issues with my last truck. I had it aligned by 2 different people, 3 different times. It always ate up front tires. I had to rotate them in 5K miles or it would cup them fiercely. I ended up selling it(for other reasons).
My current truck('95 F150 with only 60K miles on it) had an alignment done by previous owner. The truck was chewing tires. I put a tape measure on it and it was 3/4" toe out!!! WTF? I spent some time in the driveway with some wood and a tape measure and it is now wearing tires evenly and not cupping.
I can't understand how so many "experts" can touch a truck and still have it screwed up so bad.
