If you have a rear drop bracket i would change it to a axle side TB bracket.
Caster correction ie brackets, front CA's (upper or lower) Front track bar (axle center)

Are you running shock extensions?

Are you just buying springs? Are you happy with the setup currently? What other parts did the current budget boost include? A typical 2" lift includes some form of front caster correction. Either adjustable front lower control arms or AEV correction brackets. A front adjustable track bar and longer shocks or shock extension brackets should also be added.

There should be no issues arising from removing the budget boost and factory coils and adding the metal cloak coils.

Spot on...reason being you're going to get more lift than advertised with the MC coils ( which are great ) So front caster will be needing some help. Drop brackets are a simple and effective remedy.

Also you will have a rake with those coils...so unless you have a lot of junk in the trunk you may want a 3/4" spacer up front.

I have the rear 3.5 MC coils and it sits level with the 4" Evo coils. I do have a 37" spare and steel JCR rear bumper as well.
