Re: 97 reg cab 2wd 4 inch lift
4.10 would be fine if you don't go off road and there are stock axles with 4.10's which might be a cheaper swap depending on junkyard prices.

Re: Removing bed bolts that have been Line-X'd over
I would just center punch the tops and drill out the heads. it took me about 15-20 minutes to drill mine and you work topside which is way easier.
