but the suspension looks pretty bad. Axles looked fine. they were also dated 11/15 TH is was built 02/13
Obviously there is rust. Your bushings may be toast. Mine were getting bad in as little as 5000 miles. They were some kind of plastic. As soon as they go bad the bushings allow movement and that can contribute to some of your tire wear issues. I went with the Dexter bushings. Also, add the Dexter EZ Flex kit and wet bolts greasable spring hanger bolts. It makes a handling difference. The wet bolts have grease fittings.
I did the whole installation myself. You will need jacks, jack stands, and I went to Harbor Freight and purchased tools for removing the old rusted spring bolts as you will need to be able to push them out. And a tool to reinstall.
