I do... but that's just me.

I've also found that I don't really have much in the way of problems with
bumpsteer in my scout with 4" triangles, but that's just me too.

I don't really like how some high steer setups are done though... some are
kind of scary looking...

Now, if you do a high steer, could you use a shorter steering arm on the
knuckle so that a shorter pitman arm (drop pitman arm) would still give you
the same turning ability?  Now, you'd have to have a lot of lift to actually
want that much drop....
