Outside edge tire wear??

Anyone else have issues with wearing the outside edges and/or front tires in general with a small lift? It's a tough country lift, I have a recent alignment but still wearing the crap out of tires.

Suggestions?

Forgot to mention, when taking sharp turns, it feels like the 4wd is on with chirping tires and skid marks and all. It isn't on, I have checked that out.

My experience with similar situations like that is the alignment is not correct. I'd take it back and have them recheck it.

Might just be your tires if your wheels are not wide enough they will wear off the outside edges. Had that problem on two of my suburbans running 285/75/16 on stock width wheels one solid axle one ifs both aligned with new tires both showed bad outside wear after 10k with alignment checked to be good and regular rotation.
