Question Uneven tire wear on M/T 35X12.50 17

I have a question... I have a 05 FX4 Screw, 6" fabtech lift, with the mickey thompson 35X12.50X17 tires. The tires on my passenger side both front and rear have excessive wear compared to the tires on the drivers side. What could be the cause of this? I am going to replace the tires soon, I have one full size spare and the tread on my driver side tires are actually pretty good, I wanted to know if its possible to put my driver side tires with decent tread on the front wheels and just buy one more new tire( cuz i already have a brand new spare) and mount em on the back wheels. I see the tires are marked with a rotation pattern, but is there a way around this? Thanks for your input. Any input on the reason for the tire wear would really help. Thanks fellow F150's.

Sounds like you need to get your truck aligned. Or maybe the tires are balanced incorrectly. Just a few thoughts,

How often do you rotate the tires?? That will help in tire wear but I also agree check alignment to be safe when you buy the new tire. Don't want it to go to waste!
