Meis,
I think you know the Pros 4.7L v8 3.92 diff and you will be having quite a bit of fun. if off roading is your fix then get the reg cab short box to have the shorter wheel base.

My #1 suggestion is to upgrade the suspension,
I used rancho 9000 shocks but the 5000's are cheep and just as good (just not adjustable.)

I have a quad cab and have had it high centered one to many times.

good luck
