Lift Block Question

I have a question regarding a 2004 F250, Crew Cab Short Bed with diesel.

My friend is wanting to add 2 inches of lift to the rear.

1) Do we need a tapered or non tapered blocks?
2) The truck appears to have a factory overload spring, will this affect the length U-Bolts that I need to buy? (i'm attaching a picture because i'm not sure if this is an overload spring)


3) Are longer shocks needed?
4) Any other information you can provide?

Is the top spring an overload spring?
