2 coils is as low as you can go if you want the springs to remain captive when you jack it up. Escort blocks are fine, but U-bolts won't fit. You'll need to either buy a block set from classicswede on here, or get escort ones and some straight bolts.
You'd need 4 4" bolts and 4 4.25" bolts to suit a 2" block.
If you buy your own make sure they're marked 8.8 or above or they may snap.
