Custom F150 Lift Blocks and U Bolts?

Alright I am gonna try to lift my 05 F150 up a couple more inches.
It currently has the Stage 2 Skyjacker lift. no spacers currently
1. So I am wanting to install a spacer under the front coil
2. Change out the 2" Block in the rear with a 4".
3. Also have to change out the 11" U bolts on the rear axle for 13".

So my questions are.
Where can I find the 13" U Bolts?
4" Rear Blocks?
What Shocks? Adjustable'? Who has the best prices?
Thanks Guys

if youve got a stage 2 kit then it has adjustable coilovers, so just crank those up instead of getting a spacer. fabtech makes some 4in. blocks along with a few other companies. whoever makes the blocks should make the u-bolts to go along with them.

Go to any shop that makes bolts and have them make you up some u-bolts real quick. Had to do that after removing the rear axle, the original u-bolts were shot and I needed them quickly.

Contact AutoSpring, they can make you a rear block up to 5" and their ubolts are beefy as hell. Their blocks are specific to F150's double-pin design (as are FabTechs). Last quote they gave me was $149.00 for a 4" block.

Thanks,
I called him and he is a great guy to deal with! I am gonna order everything from him on monday. I now need to figure out which shocks I am gonna run on the rear.
Any recommendations?
Who makes adjustable ones? What about Resivor style shocks?
