If you want 3 inches, I'd get the rk coils, currie arms, ome 2.5 inch leaves a beefy 1 inch shackle (i dont think they make 3 inch leaves) some good bumpstops and whatever shocks. 129 is a good price for nice coils.

My 3.5 inch RE sits at about 4 inches, and I didn't have to do very much trimming to fit 33s, you should be fine with three inches and 33s.

I've seen them work. I'm not a fan of the tread pattern but they pull better than they look like they would.

If its a dd you don't want boggers, boggers are the mud tire google tsl bogger. You want a km2 or a mtr or something street able not boggers.

I've heard they're actually pretty good in the mud.. not sure how, but thats what i've heard. If you want to get technical they're actually a baja like tire.. but that doesnt mean thats all they're good for.

Duratracs are great tires, but if you'll be running on a lot of rocks, they do have somewhat weak sidewalls

Dura tracs have weak sidewalls, but people love them. Other options are baja claws, baja mtzs, km2s mtrs... I'm drawing a blank, boggers are one of the best mud tires there is, but wear quick and are loud on the road.
