The independent suspension is defintely not as straight forward as doing a cars. You run into issues with fitting enough of the spring compressor between the frame the lower control arm, and when you aren't able to compress enough of the spring, and you use the jack to compress it when it's going back in, you end up lifting the truck off the stands because HD springs are so damn stiff. It's a bitch.

I wouldn't go through all of that for a Procomp lift. If I were you, I'd crusie the Pomona swap meet, ebay, online boards, and craigslist for a while till you find someone selling a used long travel kit. With some fox or king shocks. You can save thousands of dollars getting it a bit used.
