    I have read and read but can’t seem to find a thread dealing with the issues I’m experiencing. 2018 Tundra, 6” lift, 35”’Pro Como MT. I bought this truck with the lift already installed (Trail Master) which I don’t like and with the tires already installed. Whenever I turn the truck feels like it “digging” into the highway and when on gravel it will rut the gravel up. I took it to the Toyota place and had it aligned back to factory specs but still does the same thing, now I’m seeing tire wear o. The inside and middle but not near the amount on the outside. Has anyone experienced this before???

    You are experiencing what is called "scrubbing". But you should only be feeling that at close to full lock in either direction. It is somewhat common on 6 inch lifts..( depending on wheel offset ) The truck needs an alignment from a 4wd shop that knows what there doing. 4 wheel parts did mine and it's perfect. Not saying 4 wheel parts is the best, just that they did mine..

    No sir this is not scrubbing, I ran 37’s on a F-150 so I know what scrubbing is and I’ve had lifting trucks all of my life but I’ve never had one to do that. The tires dig in so hard at full lock they will actually bark on pavement. Tire pressure stays around 35-36 psi
