Steering Boxes

[Pyrotechnic]

Thanks. I have another question. Did the crew cab trucks have more wheel cut than the regular cab trucks ? Reason I ask, I find the amount of wheel cut on my longbed just barely adequate for most parking situations. I can't imagine the extra few feet of a crew cab being maneuverable at all with the same amount of wheel cut.

I don't think the amount of turn is limited by the steering box. There is a hard mechanical stop (ie interferance) between the spindle and the lower control arm that limits the amount of turn angle.

Same box on all 2WD's. 4x4's use a different box setup, but it is still variable ratio.

So a crew cab long bed wouldn't have any more turn angle than a regular cab short bed ?
