I am looking at getting a lift kit, where can I get 4in blocks? Will I need bigger u bolts? My final would be 2.5 ybs in the front and 4in blocks in the back. Sound good?

No. Blocks that tall are going to give your rear axle ooodles of leverage on the springs. You will have axle wrap, and wheel hop, even on the street. Don't do it.
