Search the threads, man. You'll find everything you need to know. Including walkthroughs on how to install them. I'm running 60 inch Chevy springs and I love em!

It depends a lot on what you plan on using your truck for. Work, carry loads often, family trip mobile, trail capable rig.
Also if you're adding 33's and a locker that is the time to do a gear change so you can get back all the power the big tires will rob you of.
