Default Sharper clod turning

How can I make the turning radius sharper on the clod axles? Do I just trim the bump stops?

Yes, trimming the stops will gain you a lot more steering. After that, if you still want more steering you can get CVD's, shave the axle tubes, and get aftermarket knuckles that provide more clearance.

how much more can I get without going to cvd's? I trimmed my bump stops and it looks like I can start shaving on the knuckles to get more but I haven't done it yet because I wasn't sure...anyone tried this?

flip your hubs to put the draglink behind the axle helps alot or run a smaller pinion in the rear and it will turn better

You can shave the knuckles for more, grind the insides of the drive cups all for more steering. Just look at all the places it hits as you cycle the steering and grind away!!
