lift question

Caster doesn't wear ur tires it just creates pull.

I think you are mistaking. Positive of negative camber make your tires look like this / \ or \ / so either the inside or outside of the tread will wear down.

yah i think im gonna flip em back and lower the front down so its not crazy angles for now....they would not come off...i beat em for 30 min and nothing...i just googled it and seen a few guys unbolted cross member then beat on em? think i could torch em off? or is it not even worth doing them?

So you couldn't get the torsion bars to move out of the keys? You have to soak the bars in the keys and soak the control arm. Use the torsion bar unloading tool, take the pin out that holds the keys in and I use an air hammer and push the bar out of the key. Never have a problem.

Sorry! I misread! You are correct. Well way to much caster would cause tire wear but you would probably hear the tires squealing going down the road lol

Penetrating oil. Like PB Blaster. You can get it at auto zone. You could also try beating it in both directions to see if you can get it broke free. But which kit do you want to get. I would recommend getting the 3" kit or just keys because that will only do damage to you frontend because you will crank higher than you should.

ok so just go with the whole kit? when i kit the kit is it even worth doing the keys? my stock keys lifted it about 2"

I was told that kit is garbage. Another tahoe member sent me his build where he used the kit to try and clear 26s. Ended up ruining his cv boots and then rode like garbage.

I believe Hunter meant to say: "I would NOT recommend getting the 3" kit"

so what should i do? just pic up some keys and leave it? maybe flip ball joints back and alignment?
