Default 2" lift block bolt size

I bought a set of lift blocks and need new hardware. I'm planning to buy some hardware from McMaster-Carr and wanted to add these to it. Can anyone provide the specs for the through bolts? M8? 3/8-16? Length is also important.

TIA

I got the same kit from L8 and the bolts where barely long enough especially on the front axle since they also mount the shocks. The bolt wasn’t all the way through the captive nut. They are M10x1.50. I think I got 60mm length from bel-metric.

Thanks for the reply. I should have said that those are not the actual blocks I bought. Mine are a true 2" so 50mm bolts won't even protrude. I just haven't looked to see what I'm clamping them between to understand how much additional bolt length I'll need. Sounds like I'll need at least 65mm.

A bit off topic, can one install a 2" lift block with out replace brake lines, etc? or, is 1" the limit? I seem to have ready conflicting reports.

I removed front lower shock bolt and added spacer height, ran to parts store, bought 8 new bolts, grade 8. Got home, finished front, all good. Started on rear and new rear bolts were a tad to long, shoulder of bolt prohibited usage...could have added a few flat washers...but decided against it and made a second trip to parts store...hurray. l believe the rears were about a 1/4 inch shorter...and still added one extra flat washer.
