We do actually have a set of '1 inch spacers, which are found under part #1155100 for reference. You can stack the 0.5 spacers together to accomplish the same thing, it's up to personal preference really.

It gets tricky using OEM wheels with no spacers or added parts. Technically, you can add however much lift as you want without issues and everything "fits". However, the rear sway bar links can get close enough to either A:, contact the lip of the wheel, B:, contact the tire sidewall, or C:, both. It's why we spec out 4.75 or less numerically wheel backspacing on our kits.
Thanks Kyle for your help!

Just remember that coil spacers add to your coil spring block height. If you aren't also adding bump stop spacers, you may coil bind your coil springs causing premature sag or failure.
I'd like to see the shock short enough for you to actually compress a JL spring all the way to coil bind, even if you're running a 2.5" spacer. It's a theoretical problem at best. Even on a lift spring with a 3" spacer, I doubt you'd get into bind even with stock bumps (why you'd be running that much lift and not a tire big enough to require longer bumps is another conversation).

Are the rear .5” spacers stackable? Once I install the bigger tires I’m either going with a 1.5” leveling kit or 1” rear and 1.5” front. I might need to stack to get the ladder result.

Yes, the rear spacers are stackable, no worries there.

FWIW, I put their 1.5” kit on my 2dr, fully flexed it and never any interference with stock wheels and 285-70 tires
