Exactly, you'll need a few different odds and ends like brake line extenders and stuff, I'm not sure of the exact logistics but I'm sure you'll be happy with the 4" height. My plan is to throw Fox 2.5 6" coils in my 4" kit and crank them down a bit to match the rear. I would set them at about 5" because I still have about an inch of rake with the spacer.

Fellow ex-jeeper here. These trucks aren't as susceptible to driveline vibes as the jeeps are. Since you come from that world, you know that a little shim to keep your pinion angle correct is all you'll need to fix it if it does occur on your truck. I've got a 4" rear block and have no signs of driveline vibe. Didn't have any when I had the 6" block back there either. These aren't jeeps!
