GM Alternator upgrades

I need to upgrade my stock 105 amp alternator, I see that Napa has a 140 amp unit listed for my truck (1998 GMC C1500 5.7). Does anyone know if it is a bolt on? Or of any other options for more amperage?

How much current draw will you have? Is the battery/wiring already upgraded?

The spec max current draw for both my amps is 150 amps, and my current alternator is rated for 105 amps. I will be running dual batteries and will upgrade the big 3 before I reinstall the big amp ( had to go in for warranty repairs).
