the problem with raising the bumpers is the shape of the end of your frame in the front. its cut on a slant that matches the bumper. the bumper needs to move out as it goes up, or you need to cut something.
plus you are gonna have inspection issues here in PA. I know it looks like crap but its best to leave them alone. from the specs in your sig you are probably already illegal. your mechanic might write the sticker but drive past the wrong cop and your gonna get a ticket or worse, towed.
read this and memorize it.

if it was just that easy, i would 
geuss that means you have not lived here your entire life. I have. knowing the lift laws is like knowing 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
my DD is a rolling ticket, but its just on the edge and looks nice so cops don't bug me that much. but I got pulled over a lot in my 83 when I drove it daily with 35's. I got followed for 8 miles one time, just to be pulled over at the township limit. his reason, the truck was to dirty. then he checked everything. bumper height, tires sticking past the flares, how wide the flares were. gave me a verbal warning to clean my truck and let me go. also made me 30 minutes late for work. I was 1/4 mile from being there.
well thay wouldnt like my friends 01 dodge. 13" lift toatal and 46" mickeys. over 700hp 24v cummins. top of tailgate is 6'3" off the ground when closed. and the blind spot in front of him will eat a honda civic or mini cooper.

I forget that there are younger people on here.
I would have gotten myself into so much trouble if I ad your truck when I was 18. there were a lot more places to wheel then. now everything is closed.
