Some of the stuff you could do right now for just some basic trails is to lower your tire pressure. This will dramatically increase traction and will also soften the ride a bit. Just remember, you'll need to air back up when you're done.
You can also get some quick disconnects for your sway bar to increase your flex some.
The key is to start slow, get used to how your rig handles, and be sure that you can get out of what you go into. Generally, you shouldn't go alone. Parts break, getting stuck is too easy, and it's always nice to have someone to share the experience with.
