Yerf dog stepped vs straight spindle

I'm getting ready to rebuild my front end on a 3203, and currently have the straight spindles. What's the pros and cons of switching to stepped, or the difference in the front suspensions with straight vs stepped spindles.

My yerf dog has the stepped. I think it helps with clearance when the suspension goes full drop.

I thought I read there was a difference in the steering shaft length that determined wether I should go stepped or straight, but I can't find the post anymore.
