Hey fellas I have a 1990 c3500 single cab with an 18ft aluminum rollback bed and I was wondering if there is anyway I could increase my steering angle safely even if it's just a little bit more. Anything would help lol.. if anyone has any ideas or past experiences with this subject please feel free to chime in. Thanks to everyone in advance.. 😁

Not sure you can much without redesigning your steering knuckles on your spindle. The other thing I am thinking on our trucks is the wheels are all ready almost touching the frame at full lock, so that may also be something that has to change. Do some research on Ackerman Theory.

Only place I know they do that a lot is drifiing vehicles, and much of that angle is done with acceleration.
