Help with shocks

I have a 2006 f-150 2wd i am getting a 6 inch suspension lift and i am getting a 5 inch block in the back but i am going to stack a 2 inch block on top of that ( i know you shouldn't but it will only be until gradutation when i get an AAL) but my question is what type of shocks do i get for the back, what travel length, compression length and extended length?? I have no idea so if someone could possible help me out that would be great

are keeping the 2.5 Auto Spring up front with the 6" lift. I did and my ball joints are maxed, looking for a fix and getting new UCA, Camburg, i have a Fab Shop that has some ideas, but I love the extra 2.5 inches and don't want to give them up. I have a 5" block and AAL in the back and it sits level so if you don't use your 2.5 AS your back will be ridding higher.

I'm thinking of getting coilovers crancked 2" as well. That extra 2.5" and
36" tires are great and pulling up to all those other 6" lifts, i like just the way it sits, they are always looking up at me. I wish they made an 8" for
2X4, after all the upgrade it cost the same as a Rize kit. I used the stock Procomp rear shocks in the back and it worked out fine so call Fabtech. I know i could have installed a body lift, but i put wiring to an upgraded stereo system and front and rear cameras, rear seat lift, to much trouble for me and i'm not running anthing larger thatn a 36" A/T tire. Now if i had a 4X4 hello 40" tires and Rize lift, but i don't even go off road with it and if i do it's to haul dirt bikes, so theres my off road.
