Default Tighter turning radius?

I was wondering af anyone has a mod to decrease the turning radius. I was playing around with the cart last night and found by opening the steering gear box, removing the pinion gear, turning the wheels and re-installint the pinion gear I was able to turn the wheels quite a bit further with out any clearance issues. But, I lose the travel in the other direction. can you replace the standard length rack shaft with a longer one???

When I put my lift kit on I noticed that the limit for this situation is when the arm on the spindle touched the spindle bracket. I think to remedy this you would have to notch the arm and then maybe reinforce it to make up for it. I didn't notice if the sterring box limited mine. You could try adding length to the swing arm and re-drill for the drag link. Just a thought.

there is not enough movement in the steering gear for any more turning. I have looked into this several times.

I am know looking into the BBB for tighter turning, plus a mild lift for the XT and XTO
