i have a 69 f250 4x4 and i can't hardly maneuver it around a corner or in a parking lot, i know 4x4's don't turn as sharp but this seems extreme. how far can i adjust the steering stops?

Not much farther. It will tear the wiper seals on the ball side of the knuckles. You will also risk snapping a u-joint on the axle shaft if throttled hard in a turn.

They take up alot of turning space, that is the way they are.

Have you had your alignment checked?

3 point turns are no fun in the middle of the road

Sure they are! It just gives you a second opportunity to lay a fat patch of rubber.

try it with 33X12.5 tires. i just about have to do a 3-point or 2-point just to get into a spot or turn around.

open knuckle front axle turn sharper then closed knuckle or a 2wd.

Can't be as bad as a 68 F350 Crew Cab with a 165.5" wheel base. Brings new meaning to "turns like a battleship".
