Any info will be much appreciated thax

6 or 8 inch cylinders are the standard for the front

 

[AndrewH]

would need pics of that trucks suspension. no you dont need powerballs for a simple setup. and 8" cylinders will get you all the lift you could possibley get in the front

 

[MonsterG]

you dont need power balls for the rear, but its recommended, do it right the first time, that way you dont get into prblms. but you might need to get a brigde put on the rear that way you dont get the bed of the truck all bend up,

WELL IS IT A 4X4?
YOU MIGHT WANNA CHECK OUT THE SUSPENSION FIRST TO SEE IF YOU MIGHT NEED TO ADD BRACKETS AND WHAT NOT,,ALSO CYLINDER CLEARANCE,..GOOD LUCK HOMIE
