Probably a 5 inch lift. Most kits also level the truck, so, the front comes up more than the rear.

Body mount looks stock.

Why? So you can run bigger tires? If that's the case, budget bigger axles in there as well. The D44 and corporate 9.25 don't handle tires over 35"s very well. And if you off road at all, you WILL be breaking parts on a regular basis.

10" kit will require long-arms up front as well. Look at spending at least a grand on the kit. Skyjacker, Rough Country, Rancho et al probably have something for you. Check Top Guns Customz. I think they sell just about everybody's kits.

10" not any of those guy's sorry HeyYou. Closer to $5000 maybe $3000 if you piece it together. Heyyou is right I went and looked you can get some of the parts needed at top guns.

Here's one for you lol

Does the truck have a rake to it? My truck with the 5" BDS had a rake because of 6" total stacked blocks and add a leaf in the rear.

Looks like a 5 inch to me. If you want a bigger lift with bigger tires, swap to at least D60's or sell it and buy a 2500
