GEN 1 RCV thicker IWE ring - Wheels binding at full lock

[bigrig]

I just installed the thicker RCV IWE rings today (not the eliminator). The installation seemed to go off without a hitch but when I try to drive on asphalt and turn the wheels at full lock while in 4wd, they bind, so much so that the rear wheels will burnout because the front is so firmly unwilling to budge. If I decrease the angle of my turn it works but I can feel some resistance.

My truck rides higher with the Fox 3.0 suspension creating a steeper angle on the half-shaft. I am also running 37" tires.

Has anyone had any experience with the RCV thicker rings? Is my experience with the binding when the steering wheel is at full lock expected? Have I just never noticed this binding because when I am in 4wd I am usually in dirt where it is easier for the tires to slide more?

Any direction here would be greatly appreciated.

you never want to drive in 4wd on pavement unless you are in a straight line. or make giant circles. going left or right all the way will hurt something.

I am far from an expert, but I'm going with "stuff that happens when you have 4wd engaged on pavement and shouldn't." Used to get all manner of destruction when I worked at a stealership years ago and people would leave 4WD engaged on pavement.

Sounds good guys, I am going to chalk it up to testing it in the wrong place. I will give it a try on some dirt. Thanks for the quick responses!
