x2. It might look a little funny, but as far as function goes, it won't hurt anything to run just the rear. I know plenty of guys who do that on their performance cars to get the clearance in the rear for the wider rear tires.

I'll be the echo. I ran 1.5 on the front of my last Jeep and nothing on the rear. Was even tough to tell just by looking.

Why by one set, Go get two sets of spidertrax 1.5" spacers like $200, dont take the easy way out do it right the first time, and for some darn reason they make your axle the same with, think about it.
