Re: wheel alignment when turning sharp
The inner wheel turning farther than the outer is called your "Ackerman angle", which is normal. I have noticed some trucks with short springs will do as your's does, almost rolling over itself like a locked in 4wd on dry pavement.
I just re-read your post and saw that you said the outer wheel is turning farther, that would be why your truck shudders, the inner wheel should turn in further. I believe it is a fairly normal drawback to being low, I don't think it's from the geometry of the drop spindles, I think it comes from the short springs.
Hopefully I didn't confuse you, even though I almost confused myself!
