i rode in my buddy's with 5 inches on 35's with stock arms and track bar.
it didn't seem he was struggling with the steering. he was just one-handing it. don't know about bump steer. he didn't say anything about any. but he's also pretty crafty at modding.

he wheeled it like this for a couple of years.


do it, then just fix what is needed once you know what's going on. at most you'll need lowers.

that's what i've been using. i have about 7.5 inches with no sye or t-case drop.
