Why?, uhm, because they are supposed to? I mean every car or truck I ever worked on the box hits the end at the same time the spindle does. On a truck with a solid axle you turn it to the lock and adjust the steering stop on the axle to touch, it just seems like the right way to do it. Plus I am concerned with the ratio, if I made them too just look good it would seem I'd have some really twitchy fast steering.
I don't want it to look mickey mouse either but I don't want to compromise function for cosmetics either.
