I agree totally! It's been argued ever since we've been lifting these things that you don't need to correct for anything under 3 inches. Well, some people still don't (as many have said here) and find that it drives just fine. Others can feel the difference and say that the handling is greatly compromised with 2.5" of lift until you correct the steering geometry.
I'm of the latter school of thought, and always recommend to my customers that they at least be aware of the changes and AT THE VERY LEAST plan to use an adjustable trackbar and draglink. And be ready as well, to install a drop bracket and pitman arm if they still don't feel it drives as well as it should.
I guess one of these days we'll have to actually measure the sideways shift for each inch of lift so it's a known commodity. Someone has probably done that already, but I don't remember every reading about it.
