Im really surprised at how much room you have between the diff and oil pan because everyone else that talks about doing this swap says that you HAVE TO have at least 4" of lift.
This truck has technically 4" of lift due to the 4"x4" square tubing inbetween the frame and front spring mounts. It may equal out to 2 1/2-3" with stock shackle bars though. It was pretty tight and took a while to get the engine right where I wanted it.
