Fuel injection simply works, all the time.
Cross over is good but not necessary with a 4" lift but should be used for 6".
A 6" lift with those 35's might make for a better choice being from the sound of it, your leaning towards actually wheeling it.
(contingent on wheel back spacing etc)

4:11's will be a decent gear for all around driving but not so great for going off road with the 35's.

Jump in, ask all the question's you want, they'll get answered whether you like it or not.
Gotta agree w/all the above, but rust seemed like that took forever to get rid of. Post up some pics of the A and B posts, it tends to hide in there and the vent boxes

Congrats on your new purchase, and Welcome to the Boards from Philly, Pa. Sweet truck, hope you can weld
