General camber question
It changes the relationship of the tire to the ground.
| | <--- imagine this is your car wheels looking at it straight on. 0 camber
/ \ <--- this is what happens when you drop it a lot. lots of negative camber, exaggerated of course.
\ / <---- this is what SUVs look like, lots of positive camber (at least the ones ive looked at). If they had negative camber or sticky tires you'd see these things flip over more often than they do already. postive camber helps the vehicle slide, i.e., bad cornering grip. In Japan, drifters use positive camber to make longer drifts.
You idealy want to have some negative camber to grip the road better, but not so much that your treadwear is going to be bad and your tires wont be planted as well.
A 2" drop is debateable, you might be able to get away with it, you might not. I suggest you monitor the treadwear closely and decide from there. hth
