I have done both. i have modded my steering knuckles and also have JIC inner and outer tirods with spacer.

this seems to be a happy combo. i have 17x9 with a 22 offset and i have to run 5mm spacers to keep from rubbing on frame.

i have shortened the knuckles by 20mm and have actually raced this car road racing and time attack. other than the steering being a bit stiffer it handles VERY well.

i have not noticed any pump steer.
