That is really a decision up to you. I ran a couple of years at a 2" drop but had my toe set to 0 front and rear. Some shops will do it others will not get that specific.

i say just get a camber kit. it's a lot cheaper than replacing all 4 tires.

I don't think you need one, personally. I rode around on a 2.5" drop for a few months and experienced hardly any treadware. But when I took it down to 3" and got 800$ tires, I got a kit.

I was going to do this as well. Does it make for less tire wear?

I know the 0 degree toe in front makes for less straight line consistency, but i'd rather have the steering response.
