Open diff 2wd ford ranger offroad mods?

What can I do other than swap/lock the differential

Suspension lift and tyres

I'd say buy a good winch and some heavy duty tow straps. If you plan to do any sort of serious offroading using a 2WD truck, even if it has a locking rear diff and some meats on it, you'll probably end up needing both of them sooner or later.
