Gary,
I'm curious about the various comments in this thread talking about turning radius.
You and I both have 24 footers - it sounds like your E350 has leaf springs in the front, while my E450 has coil springs in the front.
However ... probably both of our chassis are the 158" wheel base Ford models. As such, my turning radius seems to be just fine (I can almost do a U-Turn on a residential street - about a 2-point turn around at most). How is your turning radius now ... is it perhaps a larger turning radius than mine because of your front leaf springs ... or did the 4WD conversion make the turning radius tighter?
