I'm about to purchase a coil spacer kit to componsate for my bumper/tire carrier sag... will the simple coil spacer kits work with my 3.5 inch rc lift? will I need to buy larger shocks? sorry for the newb question!

You will be fine if your adding just enough or close as possible as you lost with the extra weight

I added (2) 1" spacers with my Tf 2.5" lift to compensate plus some for the winch and front bumper and everything still works just fine.

You could make it work if it comes with shock extensions. However you will need to address driveline issues as well.
