X2, they make great lifts and small lift heights. I've never heard a bad word said about them. For a 2 inch lift, It wouldn't be that bad, because you don't need as many parts as say a 4 inch lift. I'd say about 6-7 hundred dollars for coils leaves and shocks.

Will putting a degree shim without an SYE cause damage to the pinion bearing or anything else?
Got a 99 with 4-5" lift on it. I put a 4° shim on it when I lifted it (plan on getting an SYE at some point, idk when). Pinion bearing blow up on it within 2 months after I did so I swapped in another 8.25 (old one had 205k on it and pudding for gear dope thanks to PO). Anyways I've got a slight noise coming from the rear when I let off the gas. It sounded the same with the old axle. The one I swapped in maybe has 100k on it.
Does it cause wear on it without an SYE causing it to burn out?
Do I need to take it out?
Or maybe since its shimmed add more gear oil to it since it might not be getting to the bearing now?

I haven't used that site, but it is the type of product you're looking for. 2.5" width.

Engine: 4.0 stroked to 4.6, Thanks to Teasdale'sMachine!
I have a set of full 5.5 packs from IRO that fanned out on me the last time I was out, I added a clamp to them to stop it. All I did was unload the spring with a jack and used a c-clamp and some blocks to straighten them.
