There are a few things involved. Length of pitman arm, steering arms and gear box. First, raise both front wheels and have someone slowly turn steering wheel to its maximum positon while you view underneath. If your wheels can go farther then a different gearbox may help. Problem is knowing which unit has a better turning radius.
