you need to go and flex it out in 4wd and make sure the drive lines are the right length and not going to fall out on you. I would also drop to 33's if that has any kind of independent in the front and check that out real good. If it's a straight axle it would be better. The 2in body lift doesn't hurt the truck much, It is the 3 in body lifts that i stay away from as you need to put a lot more extensions on everything steering, gas tank filler hose, radiator and more usually. Nice truck by the way though. Try making a half box if you only have a few dogs. The extra bed space is nice for a lot of junk needed while hunting.

Id agree with everything outlaw13 especially with going down a tire size. Does it have the 4.3l v6?
