Welcome to yotatech. Here are a few things to consider:

1) You may want to post this in the newbie tech section, it will get more responses there.
2) If you are going to drive the truck on the highway the 5 speed tranny is worth the swap otherwise leave the 4 speed in there if it is in good working order.
3) Go 5.29 only if you are not going to go bigger than your current 35's. If you are planning bigger than 35's change your gears and axles and axle housings accordingly.
4) The outlaw 527 cam from LC you mentioned is not only the worst cam they offer for rockcrawling, it would also not work well with a turbo set up. To rockcrawl you want a LOW off idle torque curve, the outlaw cam doesnt kick in until 3000 rpm. You want lower lift with forced induction set ups because of the extra pressure in the cylinders and for a smoother idle, the outlaw has the highest lift of any 22r/re cam LC makes. You shouldnt ever get above 5,000 rpm or so rockcrawling for any reason, the outlaw goes up to 8000 rpm (you wouldnt even be using the upper end of the cam). I would go with one of there turbo camshafts as they are speced to go specifically with a turbo set up.

Good luck with getting everything together. Also remember on about 90% of your questions the search button is your friend.
