I have not heard bad thing about coil spacers. If it was rough you could always upgrade the shock to a better then OEM shock

4.10 gears and 32's are perfect together. You may lose 1 mpg.

You can use a kit from 1998+ On yours they went to less bed bolts holding the bed down. The fuel filler neck will be different but is a easy fix.

Here is what we came up with on my 05 for the fuel neck. We cut the hose in half then went to lowes and got a 4.5" long pipe threaded on both ends. it is 1" in diameter. Cost like 2 dollars







Now when on the truck we pushed it all the way till it was touching the stock metal part that comes down and then put the hose clamp right at the edge of the pipe. There is still at least 1.5" after the hose clam on the tank side
