Things to Search

-SAS or Solid front axle swap
-Gears
-Dual transfer case
-chevy leaf swap or 4 link suspension
- not sure on what kind of tires but id say 33X12.5's or bigger
-4 inch lift or a tad bigger

Your going for flex and low gears so you can crawl instead of flail driving wich usually leads to flopping

So you think lifting the truck and putting bigger tires will help keep it from flopping?

Learn to drive the truck first STOCK offroad.....then modify the truck as fit for your needs.
