Sharper turn radius?

[MCummings]

Is there any way to safely get a sharper turn radius?



I haven't done much digging around under the front end of a DRW 4x4 to find out, but I am very curious if anybody has.



I'm just probing the TDR knowledge.



I would like to get a few more *, safely out of the front wheels if possible.

Probably shouldn't mess with that kinda stuff



You would probably risk destroying the u-joints...

You want to see a worse turning radius? Try a Chevy 4x4 and you'll be glad you bought a Dodge. A friend of mine has a dually Duramax 4x4 and he cannot make a U turn without backing up. He has to drive around the block if he needs to change direction.

Doughnuts??

Doughnuts??

Yes, that does work well, but seems "the man" doesn't like it too much... I have plenty of pink papers saying how much he doesn't like it... :-laf

On the back of the hub assy's there are raised stops that could be ground down carefully not to go too far. If you had AM's new warn hubs on, you could grind them until something interfers. Then just not turn it as far when in 4WD. I'm sure the turning radius could be cut down quite a bit.

It appears the limiting factor might be the u-joints themselves?
