Exclamation I Need HELP!

My truck is 2x4, I'm going to get a 3" body lift from Performance Accessories, 6" suspension lift from Doetsch, and 2" wheel spacers from Poly Performance. My plan is to fit 37x13.00xR16 Super Swamper Bogger Wheels with 16x10 Rims. Any thoughts on my suspension? Will it work?
Hopefully in the future, I would like to swap my front suspension for a front solid axle with leaf springs. The only things that I am still confused on what to do is: transmission, axles, gears, and anything else that I can't think of, but ya'll might know.
Any Advice?

I'd suggest using a 8 inch wide wheel. The lift kit probably widens your front track width a few inches, which will cause a 10 inch wide wheel to stick way outside the wheelwells. As for gears, what engine do you have? Do you do any heavy towing/hauling? If you have a V8, I'd go with at least 4.56 gears. If you have a V6, I'd go with 4.88's at least.
