I got the alignment and noticed that the outer edge is still wearing? Does anyone know what the factory alignment should be set to? I think it's the camber from what I saw from other threads.... Anyone else have this problem?

 

This will happen if u leveled it

 

when u get an alignment they give u a sheet showing what "was" and what "is" for specs.
if not it isnt right

my new h3 pulled slightly to right and the gm dealer found some deviation,NEW, and fixed it.

 

Please explain. You mean if you level it (assuming you mean adjust torsion bars) and don't get it aligned? I would think as long as you got it aligned after cranking it level the tire wear would be the same as stock. What am I missing?

 

I did level it (torsion cranked) but got the alignment after I gut the new tires. Is there a certain stock offset that it should be set to instead of a normal alignment? Anyone else figure away around this after leveling?

 

There are thousands of H3's which have been leveled & aligned witout any problems. Leveling has nothing to do with the wear problem. It's the alignment.

Maybe the alignment wasn't done by a shop that had a lot of experience aligning light trucks. When mine was aligned for the first time after leveling, my shop had a tough time getting it aligned, but they stuck to it and got it dead on, even though they spent over twice as long to do it as they would have on an ordinary car alignment.

 

First let me preface by saying I have been wheeling and driving 4x's for 20 years...I also work in one of the best auto tech schools in the country. The outside edge wear on tires of a 4x4 rig is fairly normal if moderate. You should rotate your tires every 5-6k miles because of it. Without geting into a steering and alignment class lecture...when the front wheels are turned they "tilt". This is technically camber. That tilt not only turns the vehicle more quickly but also more easily. It also compensates slightly for body roll. That is NOT to say your tires aren't wearing too quickly...but if you haven't been rotating them now is a good time to start. Assuming your alignment is corrected and in spec...outside edge wear indicated Camber issues, toe-in issues, or even bent wheel issues. If you have 10k miles on them and have never rotated them and just now are noticing some wear...it's fine...rotate front to back.

 

+1

Tire rotation every 5k miles is critical with these trucks when running more agressive off-road tires, especially during the first 25K miles on a set of new tires.

 

Rotated them at about 6K also checked alignment we will see how long they hold up
