please help with my 2.5 RC lift
I recently had my off road shop install a 2.5 Rough Country coil lift kit w/ performance shocks on my 2009 wrangler X (2-door), and I am getting un-even tire wear. The front passenger tire is wearing on the outside and the front driver side tire is wearing on the inside. I have put about 1000 miles since the kit and the new 33 x 12.5's. I went back to my local 4x4 shop and they said the tires are perfect and the allighnment is dead on.My local 4x4 shop said that it might be that i need to relocate the trackbar, but when i called Rough Country they said they have sold thousands and never had this problem.

thanks in advance for your help...

Measure from the frame rail to the inside of you tire, compare it to the other side. That will tell you how much your axle is off-set.
I really don't think this is the cause of your tire wear, I have the same kit and no problems with my tires.
I did blow a front shock out on the trails. Have you checked to make sure your front shocks are still good?

I installed this same kit over three months ago, and have had no problems with my tires or alignment. I did replace my rear track bar with an adjustable one, but have not had to adjust it as of yet. Sounds like alignment to me as well.
