Congrats on the truck and welcome to FTE.
Do you want a true dual (costs more and harder to install) or a Single in, dual out muffler (easy and cheap) ?
There is an endless discussion in the aftermarket forum about spray in bedliners. Everybody and their brother has an opinion on this and their all different.

Probably not alot of difference in true duals ans one into two if it is a 4x4 because either way, the exhaust must run down tha passenger side to clear the transfer case and front driveshaft.
I am really happy with my 1 into 2.
I used a 3" inlet and dual 2 1/2" outlets with 2 1/2" tailpipes and Stainless long tips. It sounds and fits good.
If it is a 2WD, you will still have to go around the gas tank on the drivers side. I couldn't justify the extra expense of the added labor and buying 2 mufflers.

I have a setup similar to Jimmy. I really didn't see an increase in milage though, perhaps I should have used something bigger than 2 1/2. But I was most concerned about sound, I wanted deep and throaty, but not loud and obnoxious. The type of muffler you get makes a big difference.
A lot of people like the Flowmaster 40 series, but it's to loud for me. I went with a Magna-flow and am very happy with it.
I wouldn't think a true dual would be worth the effort unless you plan on adding headers anyway.
