^ if he is 2wd he doesn't have T-bars.

To OP, are you 2wd or 4x4? If 4x4 the Rough country 4" kit doesn't say anything about not fitting your truck, so you could do that kit. It is the same price as the 5" though. Some people frown on these lifts but I haven't had a problem yet.

He must be double checking on that.

Me either I didn't do it it was like that when I bought it I wouldn't lift a 2 wheel drive because it makes no sense to put bigger mud tires on it
