Mind telling us what truck this is on? We do have around 80 years of Chevy on here.

Is the wear a harsh edge or is it more of a feathering? ( is itsame on both sides)

If you just had an alignment done, I'd take the truck back and let them know whats happening. If you just had it in their shop with new tires and its already wearing down, then either the alignment was never right, something else was worn out before you did this other stuff, or there was an anomaly that occured in the time between then and now.

A couple possibilities; worn wheel bearing, bent rim, worn pitman arm, if it was a non-power steering truck that was converted its possible the box is off-angle, worn balljoints letting the camber wander, bad shocks or wrong shocks for the drop.
