Question Angle kit

I read some info about 'angle kits' which are used to tighten a vehicle's turn radius by modifying the front suspension and steering in relatively minor ways (or so it sounded). This is apparently done so the modified car can drift more or less sideways. Okay... don't need that, but I do have a long-bed 4DR F350 with the turning radius of a battleship and there are many times this constitutes an aggravation when trying to line it up with something, like the driveway. The kits are for specific vehicles and I doubt mine would be in that category. Any ideas, or actual experiences, pertaining to this? Thanks.

Angle kits are for track drift cars, keyword here is car. The turning radius on your truck is what it is.

If you want a SuperDuty that turns tight, look at an '08+ F450. 4WD, CCLB, Dually, and will still turn tighter than anything that size should be capable of. The front wheels will turn damn near sideways.

Otherwise...yeah, you aren't going to make that turn any tighter than it does right now unless you break something.
