Decreasing Turning Radius?
Has anyone decreased their turning radius? My truck has an Ididit steering column. Its radius right now is ok, but parking can be a bit of a pain. As my DD, I definitely wouldn't mind a smaller radius. Thoughts/suggestions??

And all this time I thought it was just me that had to back up and turn a few times to park....and mines a short bed.

The column has nothing to do with steering angle.

Left foot brake, right foot gas! I have come in hot and power slid into spot next buddies car.
Quick ratio box or rack will do. My open knuckle 56 Willeys Jeep turned tighter than car with rack.
