1½" spacers = 2¼" lift. Might be pushing it pretty close, but it's possible it may work.

To be a little on the safer side, I'd go with 1¼" thick spacers.

you also need to remember the coils have probably sagged quite a bit if they are still original. with the 1½" spacers you will most likely be fine still. i have 2 inch spacers and was still alignable
