    Noticed front tires having inside tread wear as cupping, is that 4X4 Dodge truck normal? If not what can de done on a 86,000 mile truck? I have 19.5" tires and don't want to wear them out prematurely. If I need front end work I will need to find a good alignment shop located close to eastern Iowa any suggestions?

    Do a proper alignment, that is for sure not normal.
    Seems like you have a toe-out setting instead of to toe-in close to neutral.
    May also check your balljoints, if they are worn out the camber will rise.

    Agreed. You have an alignment issue, my truck did that when I replaced an outer tie rod. I had to have it professionally aligned.

    No camber adjustment on the 4x4 is available(unless you've gotten a bit too much air)toe setting is what you want to hope for

    Check wheel bearings and make sure they are not loose also. Any slack will translate to the inside of the tire wear.

    I'll find out more Monday , but with a slide in camper+ for a total of a 17000lb total combined weight at 80mph+( just once or twice!) did not see any weird handling so far this year.

    If the front end was checked fine just do a DIY toe setting to set the toe to a little bit toe-in.
    I did mine on my driveway after replacing the long tie rod end.
    Had to adjust BOTH tie rod ends to center the steering wheel and set the toe.
