Same bolt pattern, they should fit. Welcome to the forum.

yes no issues with fitment or clearance but if you replaced the 16" steelies 225/75-16 tires you are increasing tire size from just under 29" to ~32" so you should either get an AEV procal or have a dealer recalibrate your speedo. Makes a big difference on shift points on the automatic.

The teraflex BB lift kit will give you what you need. Or if you want to go a little higher with room to clear 33-35" tires if you plan to in the future,You can find a number of good 2.5" kits for a great price. Teraflex offer a nice affordable 2.5" lift. Also Rock Krawler makes amazing lifts. Their 2.5" gives you lots of flex.
