Like a lot of these guys have said, you'll always have a list. But here are my thoughts on a few of them.

2. Is it the Classic Update kit? If so, it will set you up well for powering an LS setup because it has extra circuits to feed the LS harness so you don't have to add another fuse box in the engine bay.

6. So right now you have the axle sitting directly on the leafs? I was considering doing the same to mine one day but wanted to see the results of one first. I wish mine was a little lower, but now I'm wondering if a flip kit will be too much. It's hard to lower these leaf spring trucks! Maybe I'll get crazy and do a trailing arm/coil swap one day. Is it too low in the rear or too high in the front? You could get smaller wheels/tires on the front and lower it an inch or so on the front too.

LS Swap - I'm more of a new school guy so I'm doing an LS swap on mine. It makes more power in stock form than a 350 and gets better mileage no matter what. It's so easy to build power with an LS.

Yes I have the AAW Classic Update kit. Still waiting on it because I am not sure if I should buy their 2 wire crimpers or ty it with the regular crimpers I already have. Now that I'm typing it, seems dumb to worry about $75 when everything else cost so much more.

LS would be goal someday unless enviro wackos turn everything electric then who knows. LS was out of my budget and at the time knowledge.

Yes the rearend was flipped by PO. I think it has a 1.5 inch block. The problem is if I remove the block - which raises the truck, then the back wheels are not centered.
