ANS: Factory stock...yes

ANS: Bolts thru the U-bolts that holds the springs and axle together. You may have to replace the existing U-bolts with longer ones if they're too short to accomodate the devise

traction device

ok. check with the local 4wd shops and see if they can get you some upper traction devices. i saw some a few years ago and they were like a shock absorber like the 86-90 ford mustang used but they were stronger. hope this helps
