Any size. Its up to you what you want to drop in it, but you will need to upgrade the front suspension too while you are at it. Gas model springs dont hold the extra weight of a diesel very well, especially the 1/2 ton models!

If you are curious about what it takes to do the swap, read the thread just under this one, of mine. I know yours is a 2002, but the premis is the same.
