03 F-150 4x4 Crew tire wear

Hey guys,

I noticed that my front tires are starting to wear BIG TIME on the inner tread, cupping a little. It's more on the drivers side than passenger. I replaced my tires, both upper and lower ball joints with front end alignment done 2 years ago, about 20k of miles. When I look straight ahead in front of my truck I notice the front tires don't stand straight up, they bow out a little. Is there anything I should be looking for?

Thanks

Definitely need an alignment. For the cupping, have you ever changed shocks. If shocks are OE, then basically it is like running without them as they were shot a long time ago.
