Dude if you dont have the skills, tools, or want to build this truck in your garage then dont.
I think your making a good decision to take it to a shop! So with that in mind i would just think about these thing so you know what your asking for when you talk to a shop about estimates and whatnot.
Do you want them to put wheel tubs in for you in the front? If so deff dont do any cutting yourself cuz you will probably take out more then you need and make more work later down the road. If you dont want tubs, thats fine too, only minimal triming is needed to lay on the 17s which they can do for you.
It wont be a problem for them to put a muffler on your truck, just think about where you want it to come out and let them know.. if they for some reason dont want to do your exhaust then any muffler shop worth its cents can run exhaust under your truck after the bd and make it work.
If you want a stock hood that will not be a problem, just let them know, and they can figure it in. like Dave said it will take more work but is totaly possible with your size BD.
So just think over your options and check out the work the shop has done before, and if you can talk to some of their customers to see how they liked dealing with them,
Good luck man!
