    Oh OK. I don't really need one with a 2.5" lift do I? But guess it wouldn't hurt

    I think most diff drops will come with the skid plate spacers. At least Toytec's did.

    At 2.5" I would do a diff drop. 2" seems to be the 'magic' cutoff number. Typically anything more than 2" and a diff drop is recommended. It just lessens the angle of the half shafts and helps with excessive wear on the CV joints and boots. They're simple to install and IMO it's $30 well spent versus $250+ per half shaft.
