Find some SAS write-ups on your vehicle or one close and read. Tons of info on SASs and lifting the rear.

You will need driveshaft work afterwards.

read all you can before you order anything. tack before you fully weld. check shackle angle with wieght of truck on axle before you weld.

front hanger placement advice;
Front Spring Hanger Placement: (when using longer than stock springs like Trail Gears)

I have all of these lifts down to a science at this point.
3" springs: 1/4" in back of the frame. Push the frame tube jig all the way forward in the body mount.
4" Springs 1/2" in front. Center the frame tube jib in the body mount
5" springs 3/4" in front. Center the frame tube jib in the body mount
