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

Re: Suspension ?
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.

Re: Suspension ?
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...  to the board from Mid-MO!!!
