Removing 2" level w/ H2's and 315's

Just wondering if I remove the 2" level on my truck w/ my H2's and 315's if I will rub anywhere under any circumstance? If i do this will I need an alignment?

My truck came w/ a 2" spacer and I actually prefer a very slight rake. When i hook up my 5ver I look nose high and dont want to shell out $$$ for airbags.
Thanks,

Just adjust the toe when you're done.

Changing tire sizes or lift does not change the tow setting. A lift will change the steering wheel position because the drag link is running at a different angle.

Adding/removing lift changes the toe. It's a wye style steering.

I looked at it again and you're right.
