Welcome to FTE. I am moving you to the forum for your truck.

Are you the original owner?

If not, the previous owner could have overloaded it, jumped it, or otherwise banged it around enough to bend the rear axle housing.

Or perhaps the tires were rotated a while back and with additional wear are now showing the wear pattern started up front.

Have you had alignment checked?

I'd first suspect tire rotation front to rear, what it reads like.

Yeah I'm also wondering if fronts were rotated to rear.

Make sure the lift installer got the spring perches located on the spring center pins, but if your axle was wonky I'd expect one inner edge and one outer edge worn. Still, DO check this as many lift kits are installed by 16 year-olds in a driveway.

Also worth just verifying your shocks have life -- but again worn shocks typically cause cupping, not feathered edges.

If everything checks out, then yeah, your housing could be bent. Is this the 8.8 or the 9.75?
