nope. you won't need one in the front til about 1.75" or 2" but you'll need one in the back. and just get the $15 camber mod. i hate to see people spend 50 bucks for the same ish they coulda got for hella less.

My camber was fine for a 1.8inch drop. All cars are different I think.

I have a 1.5 inch drop and I was going thru tires in 4 months with no camber kits. I have the $15 mod in the back and Sprint Extreme Kit in the front. These tires have been on there for almost a year now!

The $15 camber mod can be found here:

I got my front camber kit though Summit racing I think. Either Summit or JCWhitney. I paid $65 each for the front. The installation is simple. Front took me 1 hour and the back took 15 minutes.

Hand tools baby!! All MUSCLE!!! I used a breaker bar and a regular socket set. Suspension work is pretty simple stuff after you take it apart once.
