Limiting Steering Radius.

So I put some 37" Super Swampers on my F-350 but when I turn really sharp my tire touches my leaf spring.

So my question is this;
Is it possible to limit my steering radius to prevent the tire from touching the spring? There is not a great deal more that it could turn if the tire did not touch the leaf, and my truck has always turned a little sharper than I think it should so i'd be fine with stopping it just before the leaf.

I would love to know if there is something I can adjust to stop it from touching the leaf.

Buying new wheels is out of the question. If there is no way possible, then just tell me that. :P


Thanks for any and all help.

There are stops on the steering knuckels.

Thanks! I'll look into that. ( I would now but its fricking cold outside. :P )

I uprooted a tree accidently with an excavator. Actually it fell like 30 minutes after I was done digging. I had not meant to disturb the tree but it was rotted. Anyways I don't have any pictures of it, I cut the axles off with the torch and sent it to the scrap yard. All I have now is the bed which i'm filling with more scrap metal from my property. The bed is just banged up a little. It didnt get touched by the tree. So right now, i'm just working on my F-350. I'm selling one of my quads and I plan to sink about $1500 into upgrading parts.

It should be good.
