Devil Dog,
I'm in the process of installing this exact setup as we speak. The base shocks that come with the Zone kit have mixed reviews. Some say the upgraded Nitros run amazing, others have had a lesser experience. I personally wanted to go with something bit more reliable so I went with the Fox 2.0 series. They're a bit more expensive, but top of the line in my opinion. For the 6" Zone with 5" rear coils, you will need part number 98224759. This is available on the BDS Suspension website. I know it says only for a 5" lift, but this is the confirmed part for your rig. They usually ship the same day.
As far as wheels go, Zones setup does not allow for the use of our stock wheels without spacers. I went back and forth on this idea for quite some time before opting to ditch the stock wheels. I didn't mind how they looked, and saving money would have been nice, but there were just too many reviews out there where guys have had wheels issues with spacers. To answer your question, Yes, it will work with 1.5" spacers, but there is added risk. If you opt to go with aftermarket wheels, you will need a wheel with a 0 offset which will allow for the 5" of backspacing required on the Zone kit. I went with 20x9, if you are thinking of a different wheel size, just call Zone and they will give you the specs required for the wheel size you desire.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
