Steering radius

After putting the CPP disc brake conversion with drop spindles on my sons truck, the turning radius is cut way down. Is this a result of the drop spindles? I don’t remember this happening when I lowered mine with just springs. Is there a way to correct this? Thanks.

I put a front disc conversion stock spindles on my c20 an now both wheels stick out about an inch changing the radius and tire clearance to fender. Not sure about drops but I’m sure it’s changed.

Re: Steering radius

The steering radius on these trucks leaves something to be desired in stock mode. Can't imagine there is a way to fix it. Subscribing to hear ideas!
