I would say they are dead wrong. I put 2" coil spacers on my Jeep and you wouldnt believe how bad it caused a toe in...

No, you need an alignment, any modification to the suspension will cause it to go out of alignment, may not be a major change, but it will be enough to cause premature wear on your tires.

They are morons. lifting the front suspension changes the entire geometry.
Get it done by a qualified 4wd shop or you will have excessive wear on your tires in no time.
