The short answer is YES. According to Pacific Fab, you need to either have new factory springs or install a 2" lift. If springs are old and sagging, they cannot guarantee it. I had old, original springs and one was actually cracked, which I didn't realize until I replaced them.

See the attached link, and the fine print at the bottom which states:

Not designed for 2wd vehicles.

Note: This crossmember is designed to be used with new factory springs. If your vehicles springs are worn out or sagging a 2" lift may be necessary for clearance to the front differential. Subject to availability.
