Any ideas? Top pic was driving through a patch of grit I had rinsed out after hauling a ton of 3/4” stone.
Rear axle, 96 Ram 2wd.
I wouldn’t rule out bent axle, it is very easy to load this truck heavy, because of its special large bed, and it was also set up (hidden fifth wheel in the bed) and towed heavy by the PO for around the last 330k miles. That said, it tracks very nicely down the road, tires aren’t too noisy, etc.
Tires have kind of always been like this since I owned it, and I’ve run it pretty heavy, 50% of the time with 2000-4000 lbs in the bed. I thought it might be shocks, I snagged a close out set of Gabriel Ultras and it rides much better. But tire wear hasn’t gotten better in ~2000 miles. Is that too short a time?
