Yes they work rather well. In fact you will get a lot further with it than without it.

Yes, they work. But your truck will still not match a 4x4. My '86 2x4 with a rear locker was much better at getting into my fields, but I still needed a 4x4.

Yup, one wheel in back pushing and one in front pulling will always be better than two in back pushing.
