how did you lose your turning radius in the first place? Wheelbase will effect turning radius, pitman arm length will, and steering stops will. I may be missing some things, but those are the main ones that come to mind.

Nothing yet but I have this problem with my truck and I'm finding out that it's not so easy to fix on my truck. I was considering a budget system for now but I have concerns. Is this something I should be worried about?

You still haven't said what the actual problem is. Did you lose some turning radius? Or just feel that it should have turned sharper straight from the dealers lot?

And are you talking about your jeep JK, or some truck with a completely different steering setup.

Bigger tyres will increase turn radius, want to go down in size?
