1984 pickup 4x4 new owner

hello everybody, I just bought a pickup 4x4 and so far I love the truck. this is what I did to it next day after I bought it : complete tune up , new carb , new front brakes , fixed font axle seal. all I need now is to upgrade my shocks and get new tires .... what do you guys recommend as far as shocks go ? I do a lot of highway driving. it eventually I want to try her off road manners. also for tires , I am looking at bfg all terrains but like how the mud terrains look. please any reccomendation would be helpfull. thanks everybody for your input.
here is the truck :

thanks for the positive replies ... yeah the truck has clean title and pretty clean body . no rust on frame interior dash is perfect . I'll post pcs later . but I was thinking km2 as well .. but glad to part of the community I want to try her out on some trails when I get the new tires and shocks ... as far as the vw bus goes , it's my dads , that's his weekend toy (2265cc turbo )

Nice truck! Never seen those type of decals on 84-85s before, thought those were only for 86+.

I have the blocky sr5 ones like these (same as mine, but red) but I like yours better lol.
