ECE and CPP are two good places to check. Early classics (ECE) has a little diagram showing the different heights of their kits. If you go 2.5/5 or similar it will level out the truck and not be too low. Around 6" there are more things that come into play. Here's a great post with videos showing how to do the swap.
