Get the Lunsford turnbuckles and pushrod and hinge pins.

They are backed against breaking and bending by warranty, and its high grade TITANIUM

Use 80 weight shock oil, the stiffest springs and shocks available with the long travel rockers, get some type of metal shock mounts, and the Lunsford pushrods at a minimum, as someone else already said the turnbuckles and hinge pins would also be a good idea. That should make your truck pretty impressive as far as soaking up big jumps. You'll probably also want RPM a-arms. You might also look into sturdier rocker posts as well. Good luck.
