I am running 4" springs on 6" shackles and thats is good enough I am up 5.5
Dude a Trail Gear classic front and rear lift kit would be $1598.00 + free ship and it comes 12" shocks and hoops, hy steer, axle rebuild kits, dif and axle armor, brake lines, pretty much everything except the IFS gear box.
The super lift want you to use the original push pull steering with a adjustable drag link and they also want to charge you for all the extras that TG is includes
Tofer is a local dealer too in Tacoma he can hook you up

Your springs will be fine, flex is overrated if you're locked up. Idk about those tires tho. From my experience saturday you will want swampers. Your claw's may get you moving but you will be sliding off the trail like i was (no lateral traction)

Its all about the lockers and tires.
We had a stock height 85 runner with 31" super swampers keep up all day until the snow turned to slush and vertical climbs required a front locker as well, he had a winch, so it just took him a little longer but he made it through everything. I am actually jealous and wish I could turn back time.
As far as Baja Claws I dont know never ran em dont know if they are a good performer in the deep snow. Me and dirtmaster are talking about going back to Evans as soon as the snow clears so we can get in more trails. So you might be good, but a winch does come in handy regardless of your setup.

Well your suspension system is not gonna get you down the trail. I find it as too be more of a comfort factor than anything.
