Pro-Comp 6-inch front tires toed in?

I noticed that my front tires are slightly toed in and the little rubber whiskers have already worn off the insides of the new tires and nowhere else. Anyone know if this is normal for the Pro-Comp 6-inch? I'm going to go ahead and do an alignment and force balance anyway and talk to the guys about it. Truck drives straight but I don't want to have funny wear of the tires.

That's an informative site. Yea I was wrong, it's negative camber not toe in. I think they have it set up with a little too much but will take it in and see what they say.

It should have a little bit of negative camber .5-1 deg. That small should be hard to notice. You shouldnt have to your steering with to the side though. If you let go of the wheel and the truck goes straight but the wheel is crooked then your toe is messed up. If the truck goes left or right but the wheel is straight then mosted likely it is a caster problem, possibly camber, but doubtful.

Had it aligned and they can get the right front to -0.1 but the left won't go past -1.1 as is. I didn't have time but in a few weeks I'm going to have them mill the drop bracket through bolt about 1/8-inch to allow for proper adjustment of the camber bolt and have them set both for about -0.3 or so.
