More mods would depend on what you want to use your truck for.
What are you after, more height?, more articulation? more power, bigger tyres?
If you let everyone know what you want out of your truck then there will be heaps of suggestions as to what/how to further modify it.

you should be able to get your hands on a LSD for $350-400 privately. from trade me or similar.
Wreckers seem to want a lil bit more than that.
Last time I priced a LSD from a wrecker it was as dear as a brand new LOKKA (auto diff locker) If it came to that I'd be going for the LOKKA
