I agree but when someone asks honest opinions he should expect some people to not care for stick on lund crap. It's a balance. Don't be disrespectful but also don't expect everyone to love it.
I see you have gears on yours list if you have enough $$$ Well in order to do the bigger tires and gears you'll need to have an extra $3000 atleast. Gears are actually not very expensive themselves, where they hit the wallet is installation fees $$$. You can get a front/rear set for like $500 but my gears including everything ran about $1400 I think but def count on atleast $1200 to get gears in the truck, and another $1500 for 35-37's. Also, if you don't want to crank (which I do not blame you) then you're gonna have to go suspension lift b/c it looks like you already have a BL. That will run you an easy $1000 + whatever to install, unless you're doing it yourself.
I think you should concentrate on getting that truck running perfectly as it should before any modifications. Some of the mods are very easy and simple like removing all the stick on fast and furious stuff. It doesn't add any HP, doesn't match the body lines, or look good at all in general so I would take it off. That's just my opinion though. Get it running right and then see where you're at. Just to get in and out of the woods you'll be fine with a mud tire like you have now. Won't really need any special clearance. Even if you added a suspension lift and went with the same size tire you have it would not help in the slightest bit more than where you're at now, going through the woods. The ONLY thing that will gain you true ground clearance is a taller tire.
