Most of the guys running hi-steer are running a lot more spring lift than I am (I have 2.5" OMEs), but here's my take:

My truck drives about the same with hi-steer as it did with the stock push-pull setup. It still pulls when I brake (probably a brake problem) and it still is rather vague. I think my vagueness comes from the well worn IFS steering box I used. I might spring for a new or rebuilt one at some point.

I had severe (scary) bumpsteer with my highsteer until I reduced the draglink angle (viewed from the front of the truck, relative to the ground). Thanks for your help on this Roger.

All in all, especially with 5" springs and 35s, I think high steer is well worth it. For 2.5" springs, I think I might have been better off staying stock until I broke something. I get the same flex/compression in the front as I did before going hi-steer.

If any of you have gone crossover with short springs, do your experiences parallel mine?
