Two inches of lift most likely will not result in major driveshaft geometry changes (vibrations, etc.), if and only if all the rest of your suspension components are in acceptable condition-bushings, shocks, u-joints/roto-flex, tie rod ends.
I have the Rover Tym springs in the rear(cb lift) After replacing the U-joints, Roto-flex, two of four tie rod ends and shocks, my vibrations are almost completely gone and certainly acceptable. Still need bushings (I'm getting tired of saying that) but that's it.
Some folks get terrible vibes with no more than the 2" lift, while others don't. You will run into trouble if you go beyond the few inches of lift.
As for rear arms, these won't be necessary with the 2" lift as the geometry changes aren't as drastic as they are in the front.
As you are probably on the fence about deciding to go with a lift, give John a call and ask him, then buy the springs and put them in. You will love the appearance and the additional confidence that comes from knowing you won't be dragging going over most obstacles.
