I'm sure the 2inch wouldn't be an issue. That's not that low I wouldn't guess it would be an issue.

I had one on my s10 that was a 3/4 drop. It did get a little scratch here and there on big inclines or huge speed bumps. 2inch should be safe. Like always, just go a little slower.

I personally wouldn't risk it. One smack, and it's gonna be $. Just pony up and get the standard front mount kit, IMO.

I looked at this kit when I decided on my KBRacing front high mount setup.... with my truck at a 3/5 drop it would have been WAY too low... the compressor housing would have been only a couple inches off the ground at ride height, add ssupension compression into that, it would have been ugly....

-that being said, with a stock height or 4wd truck, the trick low mount would be a really nice setup...
