You will not be able to do what you want to do to your truck...it will not be able to run technical trails with 4x4's.

So #3 is your problem.

Its a 2wd.

You might be able to limp and be dragged along on trails a step up from stock, but not being able to pull the front will leave you unable to crest ledges, etc...as soon as the rear tires have to leave the ground to go up and over, they will not be able to push you, and you fall back again...it doesn't work.

Trade in the 2wd for a 4wd, and you will be ahead.

Don't fool yourself into thinking you can go where you need 4wd if you have a locker...that's only part of the battle.

Seriously...to do what you state is your objective...trade it in on a 4wd.
