Yes, it'll work on your truck. You can also use a certain size dowel, with one side ground flat. Do a search on here for lifter tool or lifter dowel and you should find a shitload of info. This has all been covered a bajillion times before.

TR 220. i believe its 551 lift so all you would need is yellow zo6 springs. makes really good power in a 4.8 and still drives great. dont think you could go wrong with it

I would call Comp cams and a couple others tech line then someone like Richard at WCCH.
Get a general consensus of a good cam then ask around if someone else has a similar set up and their impressions of it.
