I am running spring under right now. In the spring, Im gonna ditch my 4" springs, and go 1.5" and sprung over. My question is, do I have to run high steering, or will the existing steering linkage work?

You may get some bump steer since the drag link and the tie rod will be father out of parallel. You should definitly consider a high-steer setup for SOA.

yes actually it will be in the way
if your still running a D30 get a passanger side steering knuckle off of a WJ, it has a seperate leg that comes off of it higher up that allows for the drag link to mount above the springs and that way you wont ahve to worry about alignment like wiht MOST highsteer set ups, you will just need to to get a longer drag link.

Thanks for the link. Im going to check it out. Now, heres another question for ya. How about on a 44? When I swap in my 44's in the spring, would I have to do the same thing, or is that just on the 30 up front?

with the D44 you will want to go with a High steer set up also but wiht it you can get kits to put both draglink and tierod up top of the springs
