I forget the rule on this, but I think that you're ok with the higher amp alternator, especially since you're splitting it between two batteries.

Was this a factory dual battery (like a camping package?) or aftermarket or do you know?

you should be fine as long as it was a recomended size for your truck

mines a 145 amp just swapped it out yesterday due to a bearing squeal

You'll be ok with the larger alternator. Almost all alternators have a built in regulator designed to shut down the charging system if it senses an over voltage condition. Regulator failure is actually the most common problem with defective alternators.
