Does anyone have trouble steering with 37s?

I watched this video yesterday that jk gear and gadgets put up and I was shocked at how difficult it looked for them to turn their steering wheel. Has anyone else experienced this after having 37s?

I don’t want to speculate on a YT’ers product review motives, but I’m skeptical. Maybe those wider tires and more offset wheels make it harder than my setup. I’m on 37x11.5, so not as wide as most, and only 1.5” wheel spacers on standard width axles, so less scrub radius. So far off-roading in Moab and Colorado, I’ve had zero steering issues. I like a heavier weighted steering feel and don’t want to over boost. I’m afraid if I increase the steering boost it’ll just make it easier to break something. Also, I try not to provide steering input until the tires are turning which makes it easier to turn the wheel. Just my $.02 based on my experience. I’m sure someone else has a different perspective or more knowledge.

No issues for me…37x12.50r17s on stock Max Tow. I do have the upgraded Steering TSB done. It’s noticeably different than my 35 setup but not difficult at all.

I’m good. No issues with 12k on the clock. Running 37x12.50r17 Ridge Grapplers (NO steering TSB performed).

Zero issues with 37s. I am running 37x11.5x18 and have felt no hesitation from steering.

I feel yah jk g and g, and story till now were really the only youtubers I trusted but now I wonder if Jk g and g are starting to push more and more on you. Just thought that vid was weird cuz as much as I follow the forums I have never seen anything like that.

I have issues when not moving with milestar MT 37x12.5. It’s not terrible and only when not moving.
