So what is the best upgrade in terms of price for a 2wd? Will 3500 parts work even on 2wd?

This mod replaces the stock wheel cylinders in the drum brakes with much larger ones. You can do it on the rear but, since disks have no wheel cylinders ... no, you cannot do it on the front.

+2 LOL,

unless you put a corporate 9.25 on the front you'd do great wheeling in a straight line!
