Yes it will work.  You will need to either cut the bolt in tunnel out (or the high tunnel out if it isn't bolt in) or put a body lift on to clear the drivetrain.

Yes, but you still have to cut it so the bolt in will work..

All 4x4 cabs, and some C30 cabs I have seen also have a raised center section aft of the bolt in hump that has to be welded in to a standard 4x2 cab to clear the transfer case....... Not an issue if you use a body lift.
