You already GET one from the factory - the air filter box already
draws from behind the grille (in front of the radiator where the air
is coldest) for best performance.
(They do the cheap and easy stuff to improve fuel mileage at the
factory - gets those Fleet Fuel Efficiency numbers up.)
The only thing you get from an aftermarket air filter and induction
system is a little lower resistance from bigger and straighter air
passages, and that isn't going to make a lot of difference by itself.
Besides an empty wallet from buying fancy parts, that is...

Don't know, too many variables - 2WD or 4WD, fender flares, etc. Go
to a tire shop and ask, they have charts and to be sure they can fit
one tire on the truck as a test - if it rubs, it won't fit.
But a hint from an old-timer - the higher the truck, the harder it
falls. Lifting it more than two to four inches may look wicked cool
on Cruise Night, but it won't help much while off-roading. And
there's that very serious 'falling over' problem to deal with - you
get sideways, and it's going over
