I am not positive but I dont think a 2/4 drop should affect it! I think you should be ready to roll!
when I did my 4" drop in the back my kit( Hotchkis 4" Lowering Leaf Pack With Special Carrier Bearing Bracket) came with the carrier bearing relocater, did not have to add shims. no problems drives great
Yeah, a 2/4 drop should need the shims. If you were going lower, then it would be affected and you would need to adjust a few things. You thinking about spindles up front, hangars out back?
I decided im going with a 1/2 dropQuote:

Are front coils easy to install?

Why not bother with a 1/2?Quote:

If you are gunna drop it--a 1/2 is not noticeable. If you are gunna do it--go with at least a 2/4. Coils are not bad...just getting the upper/lower a-arms back in kinda sucks. You should go have a professional look at it soon if you are getting such bad drivetrain vibration.
Im taking the shackles off now... i hit a loading dock curb and screwed up the whole right side of my truck, should be getting a new truck soon..this truck has been bad luck =(
