Hello, and welcome to the forum...

Perhaps some answers to some basic questions will allow some other fellow forum members to assist;

Reason for just the spacers up front?
Trying to level out the rake? (the way the jeeps sits)
Or just bump it up a little?
Do you plan on going to a traditional coil lift later down the road?
Do you take it offroad at all? If so, what kind of wheeling?
Run bigger tires?
2 or 4 door?
Hard top or Soft?

Kind of a vague question you ask, but a short answer to your question is no. Others will have their opinions, as does everyone on here, but 1 1/2 isn't all that much and is just going to add that taller look, if anything.

Might have to re-center the steering wheel, easy 5 minute job.

If your just looking to level it out I used a 3/4 inch spacer on the front coils only and it made it perfect. Should get me by till I get a lift and tires but that's a ways away. By the way they were only 20 $ for the pair off the quadratec site. I'll try and get a pic up.
