Default Coil spacers after lift

OK gents, need some advice. After putting on a 2.5" spring/shock lift, I decided I'd like a little more room. So I'd like to add a 1" spacer to my coils. So will i need to get a shock extension for the same spacer length (1") ? I currently have the RC 2.5" spring/coil lift. Thanks for any info.

You can add spacers but do you have the required components to dial in the caster, pinion angle and center the axles. Shock length should be ok as is. You might need to adjust bump stop length if adapters are used.

Not compatable with my snorkel. And I'm trying to raise my skids, not just the tub.
