Cheap Handling Fix (CHF) and Safe-T plus (yet again)

I have been reading through the past posts on CHF and SafeT plus. I am having new tires put on this week and having my mechanic do the CHF up front, while he is doing other things. We have class A, Outlaw 37LS toy hauler...just for reference

Does the CHF change turning radius? I understand it's overall purpose, but I have not read much on that topic. Will my turning radius be affected?

We are about to make a journey from Florida home to Michigan for a couple of weeks. I am considering stopping by Austell, GA and have SafeT plus installed at the factory. Again, i understand it's purpose but am wondering has it changed the turning radius of anyone's rig?

Thanks...

The CHF does not change the turning radius. I can't speak to the Safe-T Plus as we did not have that done (the CHF was plenty good for us!)

I'd recommend getting an Alignment, prior to at least the Stabilizer.
Had our 17 Challenger 37 TB Aligned, made a big difference in the wandering. Now for CHF, and Stabilizer.
