    Just curious, from dead center, how many turns right/left until full lock?

    My Pro Comp 7” required a weld-in steering-stop tab and i think i need to grind some of it down because my truck has a gawd awful turning radius. Total PITA when trying to park.

    That is normal with drop bracket lifts. When you change out the spindles, the turning radius is diminished immensely

    Correction it is 1 and 7/8 turn to lock from center. I can only turn 1 and 1/2 because I'm running 295's on stock wheels with no lift.

    1 & 7/8!? Damn mines is restricted as hell! Thanks for looking again bro!

    Im getting 1 and 1/2 turning right, and 1 and 5/8 turning left. I already did a small amount of grinding (hence the reason it isnt even). Im gonna go do some more today because i seriously cant stand doing 3 point entries and exits all over the place. Im gonna shoot for 1 & 3/4 turns in both directions

    Update. Ground down the steering stop to just under 1 and 3/4 turns in both directions. Parking is A LOT better. We’ll see if i run into any problems down the road by making this modification
