So what if the wheels slip?
For they type of wheels and tires, I'm thinking some 33"+ Super Swampers or Boggers or possibly Pro-Comp X-Terrains. Any of those should hold up fine and have excellent traction. For wheels, you definitely need beadlocks.
There is a world class off-road shop in Burbank, California called ORU, (Off Road Unlimited) who can do any custom suspension beefing-up or lifting you want. Also down the street from them is a 4 Wheel Parts store.
