Would a steering stabilizer or geometry kit be necessary going with the 1-1.5" level?
i did the 1" front spacer, and i can tell you the mopar front lower control arms make a big difference in tracking and steering with the added caster. Drives noticeably better than oem

with the 1" spacer, i didn't see the axle shift much, so i'm not planning on an adjustable track bar unless i learn something new. Somebody help me out here, but are the track bars the same across trim levels or different?

adjusting the steering at the drag link is super easy and takes about 5 min. Counterclockwise on the drag link adjustment to adjust steering wheel right. A little goes a long way. Takes about 5 min, but you might have to drive it and make a second small adjustment

not sure about the steering stabilizer - going back and forth on that one myself

Just did mine with full 1.5 inch. It does not raise it a full 1.5 inch, maybe one inch.
Looks perfectly level now. I almost wish I had gone 2 "
Took a little over an hour to install. If you had a lift it would be really easy.

Any change in the way it drives after the leveling kit? Did you notice any axle shift?

Absolutely no change that I can tell.

Don't forget about just going with Rubicon front springs instead of a spacer.

Is an alignment needed afterwards? I only purchased the 1" spacers. No bump stops as for most of what I read are not necessary.? Any issues with stock shocks? Are extensions necessary?

Alignment, yes.
Extensions, no not for a 1".
You could always use a hockey puck with a hole drilled in the middle for a bump stop, vs expensive aftermarket.
