short answer, yes
long answer, down pipe is different, intake mouthpiece is different and you will need to find a way to control the vanes (Fleece?) or lock them down (stupid)
check out the S366 line of turbos. good for stock or all the way to about double the HP depending on your tuning. still need a down pipe and pedestal but better then an LLY turbo.

i was hoping for you to say yes it bolts on easy . i know a guy with a LLY turbo with 5,000 miles on it laying in his shop. anyway as far as price/best bang for the buck sould i go with aftermarket or stock turbo. i hope to have the truck at a happy 480-500 RWHP so what ever i buy id hate to have to rebuy granted it is going to be a while before that number. for now i just want it running.

stock tires are 245/75/16 is this what you meant?
265/75/16 is a great upgrade that fits on the stock rims and requires no adjustments to get them to clear
285/75/16 is arguably the best size for these trucks and seams to look the best. most have to crank up the torsion bars some to get the tires to clear. a few have to trim the front bumper valance.
turning up the torsion bars and/or putting in a leveling kit will many times make the ride more harsh/stiff. i would only turn them up as much as needed to clear. be aware, the stock shocks dont have much travel left in them and turning but the torsion bar can easily cause them to top out, and man does this make the ride harsh, not to mention damaging them
i purchased a couple of sets of used tires to try out before settling on the 305s in my signature. i really liked the 265s for the way they road, looked and i got the best fuel mileage with them.

it's a dually that's why I was looking at the 255/85R16 BFG mud train
the tire is roughly 33 tall 10 wide with a stiffer side wall so they won't rub when loaded and as far as front bomper I have plenty of clearance I have a ranch hand front bumper so any ideas sinces a dually and I have to worry about rubbing
