Braking without the torque rod will cause the steering wheel to turn in your hands. If you let it, it will still go straight. With high steer you won't get any steering pull when braking. If you have a steep angle on your steering rod you may have some bump steer though. Not bad if you have stiff shocks.
I say get the high steer, some lift springs and the IFS box and you are set.
