I had heard I might loose some turning radius but did it anyways. I have the exact same lock to lock with my Belltech drop knuckles as my buddies stock truck does.

yeah, the belltech 2508 spindles do not effect turning radius like the McGaughy's do.
I actually can turn too sharp, just so slightly, in my rcsb (w/ BT spindles) and if turned at full lock the tire apparantly rubs the LCA and sway bar. I can't feel anything, but I can see just slight abrasion marks on them when I get the truck up in the air.
I cannot wait to get rid of these stupid torsion bars though...
While you had your truck torn down, I would have recommended flipping the UCA also, for more bj travel and better angle, but you're really not all that low to where it will have an effect anyway.
...and it seems most people are complaining of "decreasing" turning radius... where this would be optimal! not increasing it to a larger radius! ha, just being ocd.
