Need recommendations on parts for 2.5" lift blocks

I have a pair of 2.5" rear lift blocks for my stock 86 Toyota pickup, can someone point me to the size u bolts that will fit these? Also what length of travel in the new shocks will I need? Thanks

Trash can is the only part you need. Please do not put blocks on your truck.

But to answer your question measure yours and add 2.5" to it and get the next closest size. They might be bigger but that is ok, you can trim down the u-bolts.

Haha true, but I don't have the cash to dish out on anything better at this moment. Was thinking I would throw them in and use them for while until then. What travel length shocks should I be looking for?

something for a 2-3" lift. Measure at full droop and full stuff to be sure after you put the block in. Your shocks should work for the street but will be too short for full droop. SO if you have to you can drive it with your current ones on there if you need to go pick up shocks. I am going through the same thing now. 2-3" leafs out back and longer shackles still have my original procomp shock on there.
