It will give you a front end that will not be able to be aligned.

You can get a max of about 2" of lift without needing to buy drop brackets/shocks/ and pitman arm.

Pick one or the other. I would go with spacers.

if you go with spacers dont get poly. they break down. get the steel ones. but personally i would go with 150 coils or lift coils because you don't have to worry about your springs sagging because they would be brand new

No way for us to tell you, other than if you got 2" or less lift from them, it should align OK.

Not really a good way to tell, though if I was gonna guess, I'd say you got around 3" out of it there.
You'll just have to try and align it and see what happens. If it won't go, then your options are: shorter coils, or a set of 2" drop brackets (such as the ones Tuff Country sells) along with a dropped pitman arm.
