Its not the axle type, its the axle width. As you go with wider axles, your turning radius will change. It also depends on where the turn stops are adjusted too. The rear axle width has a greater effect than the front. If the front axle is narrower than the rear, you will be able to turn tighter. If its wider, you will be able to turn less.

Ya! Your right as we all know. But if you go with 60's You do not have a choice. The pumpkin on the 60 will not allow you to go narrower than they all provide and still retain the bracketry. It is what it is. Full widths. Just ask Currie, Dynatrac. Teraflex on the other hand is awful quiet so who knows what they have up their sleeve.
Just figured I would put it out there that other axles can do it, and its not a design issue with the D60 knuckle or the like. Also correct what I said above. As I had down that a wider rear axle will make you turn sharper, which is actually the exact opposite of what I meant

I know somebody with an LJ with Dynatrac 60's in it that turns tighter with the 60's than it did with the stock 30. I need to pick his brain and see what they did.

Some trails are tighter than snot. Ever run Black Bear outside of Ouray/Telluride, Colorado? Switchbacks that re-define the word; and with dropoffs that will make your passengers suck your seatcovers up their asses. A smaller turning radius is better than a larger one. But then not breaking is good too so there are tradeoffs.
