The jeep has a 2.5" with stock control arms and trackbars. My right back tire is eating the outside off. Ok went this morning and had new 31's put on and after 60 or so miles u can the tire chopping again. Would a trackbar bar bracket help with this?
 
Eating the outside off? I assume you mean the outside tread?

After 60 what? MPH? miles? By saying the tire is chopping do you mean it's shaking? or is the treat started to get chopped aka cupped.

Sounds to me like you have a bent lower control arm on the right rear or right front causing the the rear axle to either be farther forward on the right side or its dog walking down the road. Also sounds like you may have at least one bad shock.
 
He may mean like chalkboard chalk, a wide stipe on the tread face of the tire. It is a great cheap way of fine tuning your tire pressure. (for a road rig, anyway...I've always suscribed to the "if you havent lost abead yet, you need to try a lower PSI, for off road use.
 
Ahh I see.

OK try this
Park the Jeep on flat ground and measure LF axle tube to LR axle tube at the widest point on the axle you can and then RF to RR. Try to use the same point on each side. See if there is a difference from side to side.
 
Can you post a picture of the tire's tread? If that tire is showing uneven wear/cupping in 60 miles you have a serious alignment issue.
 
May have a bent axle on that side....Or a bad bearing to cause that one side to wear. With a solid axle I don't see what you could have out of alighnment to cause one tire on the rear to wear I've been doing alighnments for almost 15 years. With it having. Solid axle and that one tire is wearing it has to be something on that one wheel that's wrong maybe a bent wheel axle shaft or bad bearing something has to be off with that one side to cause it.
 
Even with a solid axle, as little as one bad shock can cause an individual tire to cup.

It is definitely possible that a bearing is bad but you'd hopefully see all the oil running out the end of the tube or hear the noise as you drive it.
 
For it to wear is 60 miles and be seen it has to be something that should be easy to see I would think. That's quick to wear in a cupping pattern.

He is right. Get some new longer shocks and problem should be solved
