Ummm.... Yes and no. If you never put it in 4x4 your fine. But if put in 4wd stuff will fall out of your t-case.
Plus you will look goofy as hell going down the road. Lol

ohh and i dont know y but when im going down the road my jeep wants to shake kinda bad and makes sort of a knocking sound like a ball joint is worn out or somethin you think . it might need re-alignment idk if that would cause it though? and to add to that i got to get a rotor turned in the front dont know if that might have somethin to do with it as well or not.

Give the front a good shake down. Jack it up and grab the tire at 12&6 and shake. Then 3&9 and shake. That will show you loose parts.
