I think everyone else nailed it with the gears and suspension, but for tires you want something built for sand and still drivable go with the old Mickey Thompsons....and they come in extremly wide sizes (up to 20" wide I believe)

This is just a general image, you can get more info from multiple sellers.

you dont have to change your driveshafts, although its definitely a good idea to do so when you get the money. i have the 3 inch teraflex system and 33's (soon to be 35's) and i havent had any driveshaft vibration or breakage so far. knock on wood.

No, I have that lift and you don't. If you go to 4 or more you will. There are some exceptions one of them being the Evolution Coil Over, which will require a new driveshaft. But with the Teraflex 3" you're good. Make sure you get the adjustable T-Bar, the Front Lower Control Arms, and the Rear Upper control arms.
