VIN decode please and front axle ?

Hey guys, I'm movin' on up as George Jefferson would say to a deluxe apt in the sky! but in reality I'm upgrading from a life of bump and dentsides to a 1995 CC F350 LWB 4x4 Powerstroke/Turbo. May I have the VIN decoded please?

VIN 1FTJW36F4SEA51085

Also Truck has stripe down entire length and has the 4x4 decal as I've seen on many of these, but below the 4x4 decal on rear flank of bed it say's "Off Road Special". anything spectacular? or Just a dealer or previous owner add on?

Front axle is a dana 60 w/ball joints? Is this adequate for a street queen? I do plan on a modest lift 4" to 6 ". Or should I consider a king pin model like RS high pinion 78-79 or F350 87-91? Is a superduty front dana any different than the one on this '95 F350?
