Only on a 4x4 do you have a block from the factory. Not on the 2dubs. Idk if you would need new bolts. Shackles definitely not.

Yeah, steelies. A spindle will prolly require about 5 inches of backspacing IIRC. The 33's will rub a slight bit on the bumper and fender, but not on the actual suspension. Not a big deal.

OP, run a limited slip in the back. Unless you plan on mob gnarfroading everywhere you go, a locker is just going to eat your tires and **** you off. Throw a 3 inch spindle in the front, on some 33's and that truck will prolly go anywhere your line of work will take you.
Haven't done much farming have you.

Mine is mostly a work truck, pretty much bone stock. No need to sink money into aftermarket upgrades for a work truck.
