Looks like you need between 5.38 to 6.17. Now your question is back on top of the active list hope you get your answer for lift.

10" rims are fine. six or eight inch lift, i would use 8" without the body lift. bottom line, body lifts put pressure points on the body, you will be more happy with the 8" suspension lift. no spacers needed but that is really up to you, i wouldn't go bigger than 1 1/2" otherwise you will rub fenders. if mileage is not an issue, use the lowest gears you can get, as the engine gets weeker over time the gears will pick up the slack. happy wheelin

8" should clear. If you are dead set on a body lift, go with a 2" body and a 6" suspension. 10" rims should also work, but just barely. As for gears, my recomendation would be either 4.88 or 5.13, preferably the 5.13s. The lower the better. I certainly don't see the need for anything lower than 5.13s though. If your motor is tired, then I would rebuild it before going lower than that with gears. Over compensating the motor with gears is just a temporary "band-aid" type fix anyway. Also, it's good that your not worried about fuel economy, because you won't have any, LOL. I'd say you'll be lucky to see double digit miles per gallon. Good luck.
