That will make for some steep drive shaft angles. What size tire are you going to run? How about trimming fenders to fit bigger tires.

You'll want to swap out your 10-bolt front axle with a Dana 60 from a K30. That 10-bolt will be very short-lived with tires that size on it. The rear 14-bolt axle is fine however.
I suspect the rear driveshaft will be fine on that truck, but the front one you will need to check that it doesn't bind up at the t-case and that it has sufficient length (it may not).
