Can they turn any better?

[MotoDude]

To preface this whole thing, I used to have a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500. It was 4X4 with no lift or any suspension mods and it seems to have a pretty tight turning radius for a full size truck. I now have a 1996 Chevy Silverado 1500 4X4 with stock suspension. The turning radius on this truck is noticeably worse than my old 04. Is there any way to address this or is the tighter turning just something that came with the newer years?

Yeah, I had a 90 Ford F250 4X4 Super Cab long bed, I called it my 40 acre Ford because it took that to turn around,

Lmao, my wife drove the CCLB today and complained about the turning radius lol

 

[stutaeng]

Doubt it. Where both trucks the same wheelbase? RCLB, RCSB, ECSB, etc?

Yeah, the CCLBs get the award for worst turning radius on planet earth. Mine needs an airstrip to do a U-turn, LOL.

I need and use every bit of width of the turn around at the end of my street.
I was just thinking about the angle kit that people use on their drift cars the other day. It doesn't help me mentally that my other car is known for having a very tight turning radius for its size.
Love my cclb though.

97+ got a different knuckle which was supposed to help. I know my buddy's 97 turns better than my truck.

Was it all 97 or a midyear thing like all the other upgrades that came mid-97?
