Turning Radius

Finally stopped raining. I bottomed the right stop out on the nut, no change from 32 degrees. removed steering damper, no change. bottomed left stop on the nut, no change. so it looks like I'm stuck at 32, 32. question is....what is causing the hard stop, the steering box?
 
The steering stops are stopping your steering. :)

Just for diagnostic purposes remove the steering stop bolts while your stabilizer is removed and try again.

You can reinstall them immediately after testing if you are worried about causing damage.

The 38 degrees I posted above is with the Fox ATS steering stabilizer plus the steering stop jam nuts replaced with two thick 7/16" washers, steering stop tightened down.

I wish they were but they are not. do you get 38 degrees in both directions?
 
Is there a steering damper with equivalent feel to stock, but not limiting turning travel?
The Fox is adjustable. I leave it on 5 for highway and return to center, and when I get off road in rocky sections I turn the screw to 12, for the stock feel. It's easy (as long as it isn't muddy, then do it before exiting pavement)

And having adjusted the steering stops, I have a 38° turn each way, which makes a big difference.
 
well i went

well I kept turning the wheel after it became hard to turn and I have 36 degrees both ways (jam nut bottomed against the stop). The steering wheel turns much easier in reverse which makes me think somehow the power steering goes away after 32 degrees.
