I assume you got an alignment after the drop correct? If not then your toe is off and you need an alignment stat. If you did get an alignment after the drop then you most likley have a excessive rear camber issue causing the tire ware. The rear is more susceptible to going further out of specifications on camber then the front on a drop, this might be why your not seeing it in the front The only way to fix this is to install a rear camber kit. Check out heeltoe auto in the sponsored sales section, he will have the parts. As far as the install goes, im looking into that myself.
AZ'ers more knowledgeable then me, please correct me if I gave any incorrect info.
Hope this helps!

^ ur kinda wrong.
Ive read that camber isnt the BIG problem with "camber wear" its the toe. So it should be called "toe wear" read the sticky on this section "Do I need a camber kit" it explains that toe is the MAIN problem with camber wear. I mean sure camber does wear tires faster then a stock height car with alignment but no where near as fast as toe does.
I am really low and have an alignment and my tires are still really good after 15k MI with no sign of camber wear. oh and no camber kit

I am drop almost 2" all around and the biggest problem was the toe but I got an alignment and the camber is not that bad barely any uneven wear at all.

If you can't get it aligned get a camber kit to allow you to do so. What are your camber/toe specs right now for the front and rear? You might just need a rear kit.
You'd want this kit:

Disregard the pic but it includes adjustments for toe and camber and you need a qty of 2.
