From someone that has a brother that won a lot of money racing with a big block powered 4x4: if you are not driving it on the street at all then lighten it up as much as possible within the class rules.
A moderate tire with plenty of wheel speed will do better most times than a large tire turning slower... as long as you have the power to get and keep the wheels spinning fast enough to self clean.
That does not however apply to a bog where the tallest ground clearance wins every time.
Too low a gear is not beneficial as is too high a gear ratio. If you can keep the total vehicle weight down consider using a TH350 with extra clutches and better parts as it takes less power to turn.
