Turning radius - where to set the "bump stops'

[Bobacuda]

I have installed the spindles and front brakes from a '70 D100 on my '53 B4B. When I was completing the install, I thought the wheels were now turning sharper than stock. I saw that the bump stops on the '70 spindles were not contacting the I-beam when the wheels were fully turned. This project just keeps on giving.

With that in mind, I hope this request makes sense. Would someone with a 48-53 Dodge 1/2 ton please measure the distance from your front leaf spring (90 degree from spring) to the outside of your brakes baking plate when the wheel is turned fully to one side? This would give me a real measurement to set my front end with. Otherwise, I'll just put the tires back on and set the bump stop to keep the wheels from hitting anything, making certain both sides are set the same.

Just set the stops for the maximum amount of "turn" without the tires rubbing on any of the suspension componets, there are so many variables with tire width, wheels etc. it would be hard to compare with another vehicle Byron
