i have the same truck except its a 3.9L V6. i bought mine w/ a lift. you have to be sure of your transfer case shifter and how it clears, i think you will have to make a spacer (?) for the transfer case, bumpers might have to be readjusted. it depends on the laws of the bumper, and being low enough to prevent a car from going underneath. good, solid bushing/hardware. demand the high quality stuff. forget the rubber bushings; they may make ride smooth, but they do shift and not much support. on mine, the bolts have broken the nut in the body's subframe.it turns and never tightens. doubtful it will come out, but it allows play and rattle and shifting of the other bushings. on one, i lost the bolt! the problems i had were in the bed. the cab has the weight and also doesnt twist like the frame. i dont *think* any electronics/brake/fuel lines will be disturbed much, except to readjust them to allow play, so they dont rip out or snap off.get gap lips to cover the gap between the frame and body, it shows under the bed, and most dont like it. i always forget, but it doesnt matter. itll probably help in keeping that area cleaner any way. i have a 2" body and a 2"chassis. after some trimming i did for the 31s, im going to get 32s later. they will be mudders!
