Went to Discount Tire yesterday for my normal rotation. They informed me that the insides of all 4 tires are at 11/32nd but the outside of all 4 have worn down to between 8/32nd and 9/32nd. Recommended to have it looked at. Took to the dealer today and they said the alignment looks fine. I expressed the concern over tire wear but they didn't have much to say. They also did a "multipoint inspection" and didn't offer anything els up. I'm running 275/65r20s on stock 20" wheels. Typically keep them aired up between 36-40psi.

I have noticed positive camber when I park the truck with the wheels turned. Should I have suggested them putting some negative camber on the alignment to offset this? Even though I'm just leveled should I just take it to a 4x4 shop and let them figure it out?

You should take it to a 4x4 oriented shop you could also do a chalk test and see where your tires are wearing at and take pics to show the shop u take them to
