I could go farther back but I don't need to. This setup is on a 2016 3160 and a 2014 Ram 3500 mega SB 4X4. Sharp turns are no problem if all is level. If on sharp inclines, better have a spotter in sharp turns.
Nice info. Is your pin aft of the axle? I'm looking at a standard demco picture frame with a Hensley ts3 which locates the pin 1 to 2 inches ahead of the axle, which sounds perfect from the engineering perspective. Guess I better get my tape out...
