Default 4x4 vibration

So i just bought a new truck (i know i gotta get pics up soon). Its a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 with the hemi. Absolutely love this truck. Its my 3rd dodge so far.

Anyway. I want to put the leveling kit on it. But i keep reading about the 4x4 vibration issues.... is this only in 4wd auto? I live in louisiana and will most likely never turn on the 4wd auto since it snows maybe a inch every 4th year or so. The only time I will use 4x4 is pullin the boat up the ramp (15 mph tops), getting to my camp 30mph (tops) and if I get stuck.

From what i read, it seems like the vibration is only occuring while you are in 4wd auto at normal diving speeds like in snow or something. Is this correct? Will it cause damage to the CV joints if i dont use 4wd auto?

thanks in advance....

My brother in law has a new sport and he put the Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks on his and has no problems with it at all. I like the ride and look of his so much that I am going to put the same shocks on mine very soon.
