If you just got a coil spring spacer for the front end, you'll need a spring compression tool. Loosen and compress the springs, insert spacer, slowly loosen tension on the springs until they fit snugly against the spacer, tighten everything down

I think with 1.5" you'll be alright with your stock shocks, but it may feel a bit flimsy on small bumps.
