This is one of those , a picture is worth a thousand words , deals .
I would suggest going to an alinement shop , ask or look for one of those posters on the wall that show tire wear patterns , it will match pictures with problems .
Also most shops will give an free est.
Then post what you find out .
The reason I say these is that are many wear patterns , and many of those can have multiple causes , so whats happing is to answer your ? would require a lot of info that you may not have [ picture ] .
How many miles on your truck ? do you drive on bad roads ?

The worst offenders are bad ball joints and bad tie rod ends. Jack up each wheel just off the ground and use a pry bar to move the tire in and out. If you see *any* motion in a ball joint, it needs to be replaced. Use a large slipjoint pliers and compress the tie rod ends. If there is any motion, the end needs to be replaced.

Lesser culprits are unbalanced tires and out-of-true wheels. Even less would be wore-out shock absorbers.

Are you experiencing cupping? 4X4's are notorious for cupping the outside edge of steer tires. I have just had to get used to rotating the tires regularly in all positions in order to get the most even wear possible.

yes it's cupping the inside of the tire i guess i need to rotate the tires more than i do
