With all that work done to your truck and a 3500 rpm converter you could go quite a bit more than a 220/220 if you wanted. What do you want to shift at? I would probably get something in the mid 220's range, and you could very easily do it without any low end loss..
Maybe try to get someone to custom spec you a cam?
Id get something like a 226/226 or 228/228 or maybe a split pattern with a mid 220's intake duration and a high 220's exhaust duration.
If you want to use the same springs, you'll have to keep the springs .600 max lift in mind.
