1400 lbs? Hell no. Try something closer to 14,000 lbs. The size might be fine, but you need something made of better materials.
I'd recommend talking with someone who has experience with suspensions, rather than Motion...not that they're a "bad" place, they just don't use them the same way we do. Any local shop, or lots of internet/mail order based places have lots of experience and advice to give. Poly Performance comes to mind for just one option....

Sorry, a little late, but....
From my expeirence and observations, I would not use any thing smaller than 1" on the lowers and 7/8" for uppers(prefer 1"). Personally I run 1 1/4" upper and lower on my rear.
With heims, you definately get what you pay for. The "economy" series will wear VERY quickly and I have seen the break more then once....The lowest grade I would reccomend is the pro1 or black magic, depending on mfg.
FK, Auroa, and QA1 and the 3 majors. Like Carl said there are many dist, midnight4x4 is local, otherwise check the vendors section on POR.

Those'll do just fine. Where did you end up getting them from, and how much $$? (if you don't mind me asking....I just like to keep up with pricing and stuff sometimes)
