So I picked up a durango steering box, it's one with the 2-15/16 turns lock to lock instead of 3-3/8. I've read a lot of different claims on how this affects turning radius, anybody have any experience on running one of the 2-15/16 boxes and have any good input on how much it affected turning radius?

 

This relates specifically to a TJ, but, in principle, would apply to an XJ as well:

A tear down of a durango box. There used to be a good photo floating around showing the difference in pitman arm position between the stock xj box and the 2 different durango boxes. I'm gonna see if I can find it again.

Great info, thanks! I may just throw it in and see how much it actually affects my radius and go from there
