    obviously, thicker steel will be stronger.. However you cant just use 1" (or whatever) solid stock and built a LT kit that's worth a shit and call it good, the weight of kit alone could cause its own set of problems (yes i know the OP did not build his kit out of solid stock i am exaggerating to prove a point)..The OP thinks that just because he used thick steel that his LT kit is "functional" this is clearly not the case considering he has a "Massive camber issue", he obviously got his geometry all wrong in his build.

    his truck is a perfect example of what i am trying to say, bigger is defiantly not always better. Physics proves thicker is stronger but that's not all that goes into building a quality LT kit

    I fixed my camber issue. For the 100th time. It was not related to the arms. It was the rack shifting causing the tie rods to be out pf whack and pushing the tires in weird directions

    Its both, in severe cases of tie rod shifting theyll cause camber as well as toe.

    Hey OP, how much bump steer are you seeing with your "kit"? You did cycle the suspension and measure important things like that right?

    Well enlighten us Sherlock....how much bump did you measure?
    Or do you not have a tape measure? Perhaps your 3" "kit" was developed with a wooden ruler stolen from an elementary school child? Would explain a lot.
