I would think so, but what year is your truck? I'm not sure if yours has a crumple zone frame, and that might make a differance. The front leaf mounts might interfere with them.

Your frame should be fairly easy, compared to a mid-90s F150. Do you have all the other parts to do a full-one ton swap? (Rear axle, 1-ton master cylinder, driveshafts, 8 lug wheels, tires, etc.

Either size will clear the big calipers, no problem.
