Get a 3.55 D35 to get him mobile. Later an 8.8 will give you disc brakes, but the 8.25 can be converted. Either way, you'll want to regear for bigger tires later, and the stock 4.10s in an 8.8 won't be that much better. In short, get whichever you find cheaper.

Can I fix this leak? It's super tiny like a little bigger than a pinhole literally. It's in the taped box tire only has 5k miles

If nothing else i'm sure you can get it patched. Just make sure to tell them its going on an old farm truck or they wont do it.
