you may need spacers to avoid rubbing

Yes, it can cause vibration in the front while in 4WD.

Some get it, some don't. Some get it bad, some only get it slightly.

Will your truck have vibration when leveled? Maybe.

I used bilstein 5100's in the front of my TRX and maxed them out, and I ended up with a slight vibration under heavy accelleration in 4WD. Nothing that causes so much concern that I would not use 4WD, but I imagine I will wear through the stock u-joints faster. Once I do I will likely replaced them with some high angle ones.

I put rancho quicklifts on my trx and a 1" spacer on the rear and dont have any vibe. How often do you really drive around in 4 wheel drive? I live and work on a farm, and our winters are pretty good here, I rarely use 4 wheel drive. I am planning on 35x12.5's this spring.
