the cheaper bushes actually can twist in the radius arms. making them not castor anymore.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

ok but from everyones experiences which is the better option the castor plates or the bushes? if plates would it need 2 or the 3 degree corection as it has settled down a little for the 3" lift

just put standard bushes back in it.

run drop boxes or after market arms if you desperately need the castor correction, but i dont think you would notice the difference too much....
