My LTZ will not drive a straight line at freeway speeds without almost constant driver input. It's been aligned by a guy with a great reputation, and he did not see any excessive wear although he pointed out the mileage (110k) on the truck and said his experience tells him one or both front shocks will be done in another 10k or so miles, but they aren't leaking now.
I thought it might be the big steel bumper I hung on the rear end shifting the weight balance too far back, but loading the front portion of the bed with 200lbs worth of scuba tanks made no difference.
It has stock sized Bridgestones on it, three are same mileage while one (on rear axle) is a fairly recent replacement for a sidewall damaged tire. I have not experimented with pressures I run around 31psig cold, and get even wear patterns
Final thought, at freeway speeds if I hit a bump (think extra tall expansion joint) the right front gives a bit of a shudder. It settles out on it's own, but the left side hits that bump and remains solid as a rock. Is something worn on the right front and my guy, in spite of his rep, missed it? Nobody is perfect?
