    Not for 2 inch lift, as there is enough adjustment.

    For 3 inch lift, you should, but you can get away without it and nothing will break, but you may notice a change in brake performance

    ... Patrolapart keeps a nice solid zinc plated one on stock

    Apart from other complexities with a 3" lift, there are some definite legality issues in all States now.
    If you exceed 50mm in total lift, you need to have your car engineered by a "licensed certifier"
    This can set you back $400 - $500 easily but the upside is that if God forbid, you are involved in a fatality and the Coppers bring out their measuring tapes, you won't be in the deep hole you otherwise could be.
    My car has a 50mm OME kit in it plus another 40-odd millimetres in the tyres and the certification cost me $400
