With your low pinion front dif, you want to watch for vibes in the front driveshaft. Tc drop does add some strain to the mounts, but very minor issue. Main concern for you is your front pinion,driveshaft angles.

NO... If you have a 231 T-case you may not notice as much. With a 242 you will notice more when you use 4FT. Watch for excessive wear on the U-joints.
