you will need to bumpstop a bit but yes it will clear decently with a 2" lift.

If you extend your bumpstops to stop the axle right as it touches the flare, it stop's the up travel of that side, but doesn't effect the opposite side's droop. It doesn't really effect your flex alot. Ground clearance will hurt you more than a limit in flex.

ill probably do something like that, but if i go with shackles wont it shorten the life of the leaf packs? keeping in mind i have a couple hundred pounds of constant wieght in the rear, if i wait a little longer i can just get a 3" system with complete leaf packs

there is no specific cut off point, but i would say that you should be ok because you have an internal output shaft on your Tcase which is less prone to vibes.
