sorry but no. not without making a dog house in the cab to accomodate the xtra length. then you would probably have to push the transfer case back. the weight is also an issue. a 4-53t weighs about 1200 lbs.serious front suspension mods would be in order.is it doable? yes. but not with out a lot of mods and money! a 3-53t would give you about 120hp but is still quite heavy compared to a 4bt cummins.my reccomendation is for the 4bt.
