steering upgrade lock to lock

so i've been sitting here looking through tons of different steering boxes and matching specs, and i found a box that has all the same mounting specs as the XJ/V8 durango box, but it only has 2 15/16 lock to lock turning. would there be a major downside to being able to turn that quick???
 
can't think of any other than any bumpsteer issues would be greatly magnified to the steering wheel. If you don't have bump steer - not an issue...

Are you going to share the details on this steering box...? :)
 
So Far the boxes that i've found that match the specs are

4 BOLT BOXES

84 +/- grand wagoneer
84-88 J20
the napa part # for these boxes is NSP276528 (should be able to cross reference that to other parts stores)

(first line size is different from the XJ box. no listing for the second line. the XJ and the boxes above show 2 different size for the 2 lines. maybe some of the durango box guys can give some feedback on that.
