It's only ~200 pounds heavier than a small block. Go with a matching front and rear lift.

Don't forget, the rear of the truck sits two inches higher than the front. So, take that into accordance as well if you're looking to have the truck sit level.

I'm going to get your thread over to the 4x4 section to see if you'll get some more help in that area.

By the way... :welcome2: to the board from Mid-MO!!!
