2" spacers up front will throw the camber off enough to wear tires and make steering screwy. If you go to bigger tires as well it will be even worse. My 2wd Ranger has a 2" spacer lift, 31" tires, and no drop brackets on the beams. With 2.5* slugs my camber is still 3.5* out and it makes for an interesting ride on bumpy roads.

It's kind of a big deal to do a 2" lift. Much more than I anticipated. I had stuck the 2" spring blocks in there and man.. everything is screwed up. Need a drop arm to get it to steer right and avoid bump steer and binding. Need to add drops because the caster is WAY off.

I'm glad I got 30's because I can just take the blocks out and have a good driving car again. Just for 2 inches on the front.... It'd be close to $800 for the car to drive right. I hate bad handling cars and don't want to wear out $700 sets of tires quickly.

Another $100 to remove the blocks and I'm back to big 30" tires, still lifted several inches, and good driving truck.
