Wheel spacers are out for delivery so hopefully tonight I'll be able to turn again.. never realized just how much I turned to full lock when parking...
Wheel Spacers may/could reduce your turning radius !

The spacers put the tire on the outer most part of the knuckle and spindle, which cause the tire to have an increased arc when turning, i.e. hitting body/bumper.

Yeah I haven't had the chance to take the truck down the road but my issue was the 285/75R16s would rub the sidebiters on the frame and the front swaybar on both sides at full lock.  The 1.5" spacers have stopped that and so far the only place that is rubbing is the driver side fender liner but like I said I still need to drive it around the block and see how it feels too.
