Do i need tubular uppers?

So i'm trying to order stuff for my new front susp. And i plan to do a 2/5 drop. Now i dont think 2" is very much so do i need to get tubular uppers, or will i only be able to see that when its all assembled?

They would look cool, but no, you don't need them.

I've gone as low as a 5 inch front drop and never had any reason to spend money on custom arms.

Stock GM arms work for me.

The only trucks I've had to install upper arms on when doing a drop is some of the 99+ if you can't get them to align.
