Pulling engine out of truck with 4" lift?

Anyone done this? I am thinking about pulling the 350 out of my truck because I think it needs to be gone through and check out, sounds like I have some loose bearings, bad cam/lifters, and maybe something else. Seems like it would just be a lot easier to pull the engine and tear it down to see whats up. And maybe up the compression a little with some flat-tops (I think its been rebuilt before, but maybe not the right way).

Anyway, my truck has 4" of lift and 33" tires on it, will a normal 1/2-2 ton engine hoist lift the engine up this high? Or will I need to take the tires off or something and lower the front end somehow? The hoist I was looking at said it could lift up to 7 1/2 ft.
