You will probably be fine with those shorter springs. You dont really run into Camber problems on these trucks until you take more than 4" out of the stock spring height.

You will be good, I pulled down on the front end about a 1/2" while it was on the alignment rack and I was able to get negative camber so 2" drop or more should suffice.
