Sorry just had a really bad experience with a 2004 Dodge.
But honestly do everything you can do to make it trustworthy. Keep on on all standard maintence including changing the transmission filter, radiator fluid etc..
Others on here love the Thuren suspension products but I don't have any experience with that.

I just put the Thuren springs, Bilstein 5160 shocks, Carli trackbar, Steering box brace, longer swaybar endlinks and Kore bumpstops on my '06 cummins 2500. It rides SO much better. I no longer feel like I'm going to be catapulted through the roof of my truck with every speed bumpish type bump I hit. Washboard roads that limited me to 25-30 mph before I can now cruise at 55(easily :Wow1: ).
The only thing I'm not totally sure was worth it was, the Kore bumpstops, but they were like $85 shipped and compared to the Carli or Thuren stops they were alot cheaper and easier to install. So I'm not into them too much if I decide to ditch them.
With all these new parts it has really brought to my attention the fact that my upper balljoints are shot. I was planning on doing new tires next, but I think some of the Carli balljoints are next(once I can find some).
I have a hellwig anti-swaybar coming for the rear later this week. I use a truck camper with my truck and I'm trying to reduce some of the body roll.
There's plenty of stuff you can do to these trucks to make them more nimble offroad, but the deciding factor, usually, is how much and how fast you can bankroll the mods.
Checkout Carli, Thuren, Kore.

best advice i can give you is to go on an expedition of your choice and figure out what your limits are. then upgrade to compensate as necessary.
or you could spend coin on bumpers suspension, lockers, only to findout you didn't need them inorder to do your kind of expeditioning.
its a lot more fun than spending the time saving and building for an expedition you never have time or money for.

Dido. Get out there and see how it works and what more you want it to be capable of. Then you can plan and have fun at the same time.:wings:
