9" or Dana 60 rear with a tall gear should be a big consideration.

As far as suspension, if you want a stock-style setup:

Adjustable tunnel-mounted Torque Arm
Adjustable shocks all the way around with 275-300lb spring up front
LCAs with relocation brackets
Adjustable Panhard Bar
!Front sway bar
Rear drag bar and subframe connectors later when actually needed

I would do the subframe connectors first. They take a lot of flex out of the chassis,
