It's not only for turning angle. I'm working on mine for two reasons. The first is b/c the previous owner did a hack job to clear his IC piping and secondly for bump travel. If you'll notice in this picture, mine constantly hit the tops of the factory wells. I'm not even that low, I just have actual suspension travel. Ignore the wirebush marks around the seams and look at polished area at the top of the wells as they meet the tower and the leading edge at the base of the well area. That's a problem for me and I'm only running a 225/40/18 on 9.5 +18
