you dont know if its a V10... in 99 the Powerchokes had a V8 emblem up front like that that said "powerstroke" below it... but they changed that for '00...
But with flex like that, i would guess its a gasser b/c diesel's front springs are a lot stiffer...
ill stop rambling now,

donahoe 8" kit for a deasiel cost around $2500.00 it lifts a gas truck around 9" or so.
the truck rides as well as stock. no traction bars needed ,

That thing flexes really well for having the stiffer diesel springs with the lighter 5.4......

Hows it work off road? Broke anything yet?

I really like the rear bumper/winch mount also
