K-10 turn radius ?
My K-10 has 4" lift and 35x12.50 tires dana 44 up front. Since I have owned this truck the turning radius has been short. Not so short that I cant get around, but more like driving a crew cab 8' bed. Everyone I talk to with lifted trucks say that the tires should'nt have much to do with my problem. So I am posting this question on the main forum as a general steering question. How should I go about checking componets to find my problem? It will not touch the stops on either turn. It just turns until the steering pump squeals, and thats the stop. Could it be the steering box for all I know it is out of a camero. Any ideas would be great.
