it most likely has the axles you want since it's a 1 ton 4x4.

as for lift, no don't add a bunch of springs to your pack, it can be done, but would need a longer centering pin.

just buy some blocks for out back, or add a leafs, even zero rates. for the front you can do zero rates, add a leafs or get some rear springs from a k10, YES REAR springs that are 52 inches long and swap them up front, those add about 4 inches or so of lift up front maybe less, and the same can be done out back with 56 inch springs I think it is, like 3/4 ton or 1 ton leaves that are longer.

both spring swaps require moving the hangers, front requires switching sides.

add a leafs or zero rate require you to unbolt the spring pack and then insert the zero rate or add a leaf on the bottom and then reinstall with new centering pins.

that truck should have a dana 60 and a 14BFF, that 14 bolt will have to have the spring perches moved due to frame width changes. the dana 60 mounting wise will be the same, will need a conversion u-joint, but you will need a conversion u-joint for the rear also.

Dont let them crush that truck if it has a Dana 60 on the front. Even if for some crazy ass reason you wouldnt want to run it they are worth big bucks.
