Default '99 2wd coil springs for front, but what for rear?

Looking to get these for the front end
http://store.fatbobsgarage.com/_ford...007-p7591.aspx

but, still don't know what to get for the rears. I've heard things like 'leaf springs' or 'blocks' but I can't really find any info or pics on those. I'm not too educated in these types of things.

Anyone have a direct link to buy leafs or blocks for the rear? I'm looking to clear some bigger tires.

Thanks

The blocks are made from aluminum and look like these

http://www.jcwhitney.com/suspension-.../p2005817.jcwx

I purchased my rear block kit and add-a-leaf kit from the Autozone
Most PepBoys ,Kragens,and Napa parts stores have them in stock
$39-69 for add-a-leaf kit
$29 for blocks with u bolts included

Front Coil spacers lift 2-3"
Rear 3" blocks lift 3"
Rear add-a-leaf lift 2-3"
Mine sits 3" taller in front
And 6" taller in the rear


Bodylifts are great,but I didn't have four + friends to help me
Right now...I want to do a BL someday soon

Do you need to buy a block lift and add a leaf for the rear? Also where can you get the spacers and rear lift professionally installed?
