Thanks.

And yes there will be a little work to be done to get the wide wheels to fit. I took a quick glance at it the other day. Bed will be tubbed, frame will be new and narrowed from the back of the cab to the rear, new rear suspension, axle narrowed. Hopefully I can keep the stock tank, I didn't spend enough time under it to tell. I'm hoping to get about a 3/5 or 4/6 drop out of it, the 24" tires are the same diameter as the stock 22s, I think I'll be able to get away without raising the bedfloor any if I suck the new frame up as tight to it as I can.

Originally I was wanting to do coilovers front/rear so I could dial in the suspension. But with the wheel size I want this will never be a "performance truck" just a wannabe. So I'll keep the coils up front and if they will fit, in the rear. I'm pretty sure the Belltech springs are progressive rate, so they'll ride just as good as a tuned coilovers with a good shock next to them.
