Slide your hand across the tire and see if when rubbing one way it grabs more then other. That would indicate that the toe is off. Easiest thing tho would be go have an alignment done!

Toe in is to much. Have it at about 1/16th. I do all my alignments with a tape measure in my driveway and have never gotten uneven wear until my ball joints went bad.

Thanks folks...
Still haven't been able to get the time to put it on the lift but...
When I swapped in the axle I remember I set it at 1/8th to the front. Maybe that was to much? But...then when I adjusted the trac bar I never checked the toe in again. Not that I would think one would effect the other but maybe I should have anyway? The other thing is I am running spacers up front which I can only imagine has some influence on an already bad alignment.
I'm hoping to get the new(used) tires put on this weekend or at least swap rear to front on whats there already. Then I'll recheck my numbers and see what toe is set at.
