To see where your contact patch is. And how big it is. Ideally, you want even wear and heat across the thread after a hard run. If it's on one section and not across the tire. You're not getting the most out of the tires.

I'm still trying to understand how this would come about if I have all the necessary components after the drop, unless I am missing something from my list above shouldn't it be aligned correctly to avoid uneven tyre wear?

After the drop. If you get it aligned close to stock specs. You shouldn't have any problems with wear. It when you start doing trackdays and getting faster. Then you may start making changes.

So using the following components with a 2" drop should make it possible to align back to stock specs with little to no issue? Anything I need to add?
Z1 Rear Camber Arms
Z1 Upper Control Arms
Kinetix Traction arms
SPL Eccentric Lockout kit

You'll need something for rear toe adjustment. You won't get back to stock alignment specs with a -2" drop and only rear camber arms. You don't really need the traction arms.
