2021 blue off road 4Runner

I'm on the fence...
I'm going to lift the front of my 21 4Runner 2.5" but with the weight from bumper/winch it will be raised 2"
The Dobinsons Diff lift kit says it's not needed under 2" so I'm torn on which way to go. I'm thinking more on the line that for the longevity of the CV joints, it can't hurt anything by installing it. Thoughts?
Thanks,

Diff drops don't do anything anyway. I'd skip it.

Not needed. Take a look at your drive line today and I bet it is sagging so when you lift your drive line will probably be nearly straight.
