A way to visualize the leverage is to look at teeter toter, steering linkage at one end, wheel the other and the box at the fulcrum.

wheel-------------<box>--------------steering linkage

Notice the link between the steering linkage and the box, with respects to the box to the wheel which remains the same. See the advantage of the shorter link.

One has to look at the system, not one piece.

The radius should be still the same if it's hitting the locks, just more turns then stock.
