I wouldnt bother with rod bolts you will need to pull the motor to put them in since you are 4wd. Trust me you dont want to pull the front diff and all that stuff, ask me how I know

You better get a 3600 stall since you have the little motor and 4wd to spin. Too much cam IMO for what you got. You dont even have a tune, lt headers if I remember correctly. You gotta walk before you can run but do what you must.

That's alot of cam for a 4.8. You're going to need serious tuning to run it. Then, you're gonna want at least a 3000 stall. And, with that much lift, you'll need 918 springs and 7.4 pushrods. You might even run out of fuel and need bigger injectors to feed that at high RPM.

Have you considered calling Don at Dez's shop about setting up your tune?

He needs atleast a 3500 for it to run well. 01Thunder is running a 3500 and it hits pretty good but he is a step side and 2wd big difference.

Yeah, I think he's got a 6.0 now. I'd buy cam, springs, and pushrods.
