it depends, some people say yes, some people say no... there will be issues with clearance, and if there isnt a body lift, there will likely need to be some firewall and tranny tunnel hacking, also there may be issues with air cleaner clearance under the hood as well.....

A body lift isn't required. But without one you'll have to hack up the firewall and floor. clearance will be tight for your air cleaner and what not.

On my 4.3 I did a 3" body lift so the distributer and trans cleared with out any firewall or floor mods.

I used a 2" body lift and so did my bro. But we are swapping his junk into another truck that doesn't have a body lift. you just have to cut some stuff out
