Default Mod/Preventative Maintenance

So I'm currently doing a year tour over in Korea and my truck is sitting back home with my family. It is basically just being started up and driven once every couple weeks to keep everything ok. I have a 2004.5 Ram 2500, Mega Cab 4x4 Manual 6 speed trans with 110,000 miles. I have done some work/mods to it but not much. I am wanting to order parts so that I can do some mods when I get back and am looking for some recommendations. I would really like to switch out the fuel lift pump that sits up front as well as get some better filtration. I would also like to do some exhaust mods (legal in case I get stationed somewhere that makes me test). I know I need to replace the serpentine belt (getting worn) and batteries, and am also looking at maybe throwing in a dual or triple disc clutch. I did just a 2.5in lift/35s on it as well as changed out the shocks. Not looking for much more of a lift as I haul a horse trailer and other stuff. I offroad for hunting/fun (sometimes over some pretty rough terrain). It is also my daily driver so I don't want to sacrifice too much on the mpg side. I haven't done much to it on the mod side other than add a AEM brute force air intake. I just did all the brakes and rotors before I left so that shouldn't be anything I need to do when I get back. Thanks for your time and suggestions.

Thanks for your service sir.
I would definitely do exhaust. Also a smarty touch is essential. Beyond that fuelab and industrial injection injectors and reman pump. If you crank that chip up you may want water/meth and a flex plate. Thanks again.

Tubes also. You don't need water meth but it would help if you stay in the throttle for longer than 10 seconds to keep the turbo a solid.
