Default 12v into 88 Dodge D100

Alright so my Harley is getting sold (hopefully) and I am going to be getting back into a truck, it's a 1988 Dodge D100 w/ a 225 Slant 6. I am a diesel junky so I want a 12v in the pig with a hood stack.

That being said, the truck is currently on air ride suspension in all four corners... my concern is with the heavier Cummins motor. Does anyone have any idea what type of suspension changes I may need for the 12v? I truly am not sure what a 12v w/ a NV4500 weighs with all it's fluids and **** in it.

If you figured on a 500# increase overall you'd probably be close. If your bags are rated for it, you may only need to up the pressure.

I 8-lugged my 2wd ramcharger using everything from the D250 cummins donor. Its a direct fit bolt-on deal. I felt the bigger joints, bearings, and rotor were all worthwhile.
