    "lifetime" alignment is basically a regular alignment a shop offers except you can get it redone anytime for the rest of the time you own the vehicle for free. Usually it costs about twice as much, but after two alignments its paid for. Firestone and Tire Kingdom do them.

    In the last few months I have noticed the same problem... I currently have 61k miles, three inch lift, and Nitto tires. So, is the solution an alignment? new shocks? or could it be something else...

    In my experience (4 long years, "hands on" in the tire biz) uneven wear is either:

    1 Alignment

    2 Worn front end parts (ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks to a lesser degree)

    3 Balance of the tire/ wheel
