3.31 is a fairly tall axle, depending on the tire size. 3.73 is probably a better choice. In theory it will give poorer fuel economy than the 3.31, but in practice you probably won't see any difference.

I will not purchase a pickup without a limited slip differential. A 2WD without LSD is really one-wheel drive. A 4WD without LSD is really 2WD. A 4WD pickup with an LSD in the rear gets you to "three-wheel drive", which is probably good enough. (And if it isn't, you can buy an aftermarket locking differential for the front for serious off-roading.)
