I have a RD600 with a national crane mounted to it. It has the dual steering boxes ahead of the axle. When I got it, it wouldn't turn in either direction very well. 3 point turns to get through a highway to highway T intersection isn't great for a construction type vehicle.
It was horrible- absolutely unable to get anywhere with. How the previous owners had lived with it all those years,(probably since the wide steers were put on), is beyond me. It was either fix it or it was going on to some other owner.
A different set of rims with more offset pushed the 425 steers out. That enabled me to crank the stops in, and then I had to adjust the steering box relief points. It now turns fine. Either direction. And its a pretty long wheelbase with the crane on it, and there's no changing that, but its possible to at least make a corner now.
With it not being your truck, I don't see much you can do about it.
If they have fitted it with the "standard" offset rims that most trucks have for 425's, I don't think they have enough offset. So like RZucker says, they cheat the stops out, to keep it off the steering linkages. I had to order my rims with the extra "out", which took a bunch of measuring and guessing where that would put the tires. With the wheel pointed straight, the steers are actually just a little outside the rubber fender flares mounted to the hood. It looks a little odd, but its the only way to keep the tires off the hardware. And it was kind of pricey buying new rims, but that was cheaper than a different crane.
