Welcome to the forums. I will say that if your truck is 2wd, just put some 31 10.50s on it and call it a day. I did the whole 2wd lift thing and took it all off. I won't ever do it again.
Trust me it adversely affects performance, handling, braking, etc. If your truck is your daily driver definitly don't lift the 2wd.

Back when I had duel tanks. I filled both, started in the front, got down close to E, then switched to the rear. I've heard that running them to low can shorten fuel pump life. But the nice thing was, if I did get to the point were I ran out when i was on the rear tank. I could always go back to the front tank and use the last couple gallons in there to get to a fill station.

Well here are the springs from the trucks.
The tow package one actually has more leafs.
what is weird though is that they both have the same GAWR for the rear axle. But what's really weird, is that the tow package truck has a higher GAWR for the front axle. Anyone know why this would be?

A good 4'' suspension lift will allow you to rnu 33's, but 32's would fit better and look just as good. I like your ideas for the truck. For some reason I like seeing lifted 2wd trucks. I guess because it's different. My 2wd has a 3'' lift and 31'' tires. I have the same motor and tranny as you do, too. What gear ratio is in your truck? 3.08? If you plan on going to 33'' tires you'll want a 3.73 ger set to give you the power back and fuel mileage.
What type of exhaust work does it have? Do you like the sound?
