An oil change will be cheap insurance and more importantly peace of mind. Your plugs can wait. I wouldn't think 6k would make a world of difference. I'd make sure your tranny is tip top and the trans cooler is also. same thing does double for your radiator. Heat will be your biggest enemy.

Properly inflated tires and a insurance program of a tire plug, tire goo, or AAA

Oh yea! The more importantly, have some fun!

That's probably more payload than your truck can handle. If the axles are on a trailer, you won't have a problem, though.
