    Your lift probably required welding on steering stops. My BDS 6" lift kit needed it so I assume your RCX kit has it also. The steering stops shave off a few degrees from your turning radius. They supposedly were needed to avoid the tires hitting the spindles used with the bigger lift kits. I took my steering stops off but even when I had them I was able to do U-turns onto 2-lane roads that had a decent-sized median.

    Same here. Came from a Sierra 1500 3-door and the Tundra always impresses me with it's tight turning radius.

    No U-turn at all anywhere? Maybe certain roads where it isnt wide enough?
    Eh, just jump the curb :rofl:

    Is it just me, or do the leaves in your springs have a zig zag profile? The dealer replaced my Tacoma springs when they took a similar non curved shape, after I hauled an 1800# pallet of bamboo flooring...

    If you jump the curb, is it still a U turn?

    As long as wheels stay on steering lock, I’d say yes
