Adding a 1 or 11/2 Rear coil spacer, do you need new shocks or can the factory handle it, anything wrong with staying with factory shocks?

Mine had stock shocks with 2.5 space in front and 1.5 in rear. When I first bought it. I now have a 6" lift with upgraded shocks of course.

The stock rear shocks can accommodate up to 1.5" of rear lift, anything over 1.5" and ride quality suffers

I've had my steel spacers installed for a while now and have had no issues at all , no metal to metal sounds or anything .
I was originally gonna get the poly spacers , but a member here had the steel ones for sale for cheep .

Here's a link to my rear spacer install .
