So do you think 4.10's would be good enough for 33's?

I'm trying to avoid anything more than that due to bad gas mileage. Although... I would if I had too.

Go to 4 wheel parts web page they have a gear and tire size to match so you get power and gas mileage from your truck. 3:73 is a good gear for 33s take a look and for lifts check rough country web site....

For your 08 your going to need to put spacers your truck is not equipped with torsion bars..... the cheapest I have found them is 79 on eBay

Ive never really done much with coil springs but I think you need a spring compressor. They are not too expensive though.

Not on the 04 08 truck unless you plan on changing the shock the spacer bolt on top if the strut with three bolts that's what gives you your lift
