I think you mean needle bearing, as in the ECGS needle bearing replacement bushing. And no, a 1/2" lift won't make you need the bearing/bushing. Honestly lift it as much as you want and then replace the bearing when it fails, I'm in a second gen with 200k on the clock, about 10k of that has been lifted 2.5" and I still have my original needle bearing in my diff with no vibrations or issues.

That said I do plan on replacing it as cheap insurance in the near future.
