yes. ZnSO4(s) + Pb(s) ---> Zn(s) + PbSO4(s) also if this reaction were to take place with a Pb4+ ion then it would appear like this; 2 ZnSO4(s) + Pb(s) ---> 2 Zn(s) + Pb(SO4)2(s) either way lead can react with it. The only thing that may be incorrect about this balanced equation is that i dont believe this is one of the few reactions that fully react. It probably sits in equilibrium, which you mostly learn about in higher level chemistry. (the equilibrium arrow is basically two half arrows sitting on top of one another pointing in opposite directions.)

any metal that is more reactive than lead would replace it in a reaction.Metals that are more reactive than lead are francium(very rare) cadmium,lithium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, aluminum, zinc, iron,tin, strontium, cobalt and nickel

Metals don't react with other metals, they react with nonmetals. If you had compounds of lead and compounds of zinc, they might react with each other, but lead and zinc do not react. They can be mixed together into an alloy, but that is not a chemical reaction.
