Are you sure that your 35"s are allowing you to hit the steering limiters when you turn?

Roll Me Over
*****
I turned the stops way in on my 87. It turns a lot tighter but yo need to use a very light touch with your hands at the limit. The CVs at ride height have more travel available allowing a tighter turn but as soon as one wheel drops they will bind up. You need to feel for this when driving. If you just turn to the limit and hold it there with the stops adjusted back and drive over terrain the next clunk you hear will not make you happy.

funny, I was just thinking that....

yeah, honestly, I'm always surprised when I get into
a different car, crank the wheel over- and hey, wow,
this thing will turn sharp!

The LWB is even worse- well, it's longer!

heh
