Actually in mud you want a big wide tire(large contact patch) for floatation, same with snow. ice would be the only place a small heavy contact patch would be of an advantage. Just because you don't understand the advantages of a flatter rolling arc does not mean I am not correct. Weight of the tire is really is not relevant.

Yes, 35*12.5-17 km2's on stock wheels. It can be done but in that style, it's not going to play off-road. More bumpstop and less flare- you could play. I run 33's since I'm realistic about my "wheeling" and actual jeep use. I do many highway miles so the 33 is a practical choice. I chose trails to where I don't need the extra ground clearance.

I'm all highway (130k+ miles now) with frequent trips to the beach. My rationale behind a lift was to increase my uptravel so I'm not bottoming out on the bumpstops running down the beach. The 33 will leave you plenty of power on the road and beach.
Your tire choice is one I ultimately decided against due to a lack of siping. Siping really only comes into play in wet and icy conditions. Of your two lift choices- I personally prefer the ride of a full coil lift. In the x amount of inches of space in the coil bucket, a full coil lift will allow you to utilize all of that space. The spacers only allow the stock coil length to work and the top 2" are static. I had a coil spacer kit and quickly ditched it.
Standard disclaimer- your mileage may vary and opinions are like.....well I think you know how that one goes.
