You didn't say what your truck was - if it is a 3/4 ton you can get stiffer suspension parts but if it is a 1/2 ton I would worry that the frame and suspension will not carry the extra weight.
I don't know why you would want a diesel, they seem to be a hugh extra expense that makes your truck front heavy - just watch one on a muddy road or out in a field. If I had to have a diesel, I would want it in a heavy 4X4.
