    I doubt youll need a diff drop, I have mine set on 2.5 and I have no vibrations.

    2: You need an alignment with any amount of lift.

    Oh I forgot to ask, are you actually using the Bilstein 5100 shocks to lift the front end, or leaving them set at 0?

    Nothing else needed for the front, do you plan to lift the rear?

    OK then your good to go, you don't need anything else other than an alignment after they put on the shocks. Just make sure they are on the setting for how much lift you are looking for.
