shouldnt be any mods needed that i know of unless you go higher than 6in, as for killing the tranny may have a little more strain on it from larger tires but nothing to worry about

If I were going to do a 6" lift and use the truck off road I would have a custom shaft made that uses a double cardan joint. This setup gives you a lot more angle and cuts u joint wear in half.
