I have run 35 x 15 x 15 swampers in deep snow over 4' and the traction was great and unill in got slushy bearly spun a tire. I have run 36" SX's did okay in the snow but at the Hammers nothing grabbed better (before Iroc's). I run BFG AT on the F350 nice street tire and playing on hard pack line...

The wireing is easy buy a aftermarket kit ($200 to 400 depending where you get it) takes about a weekend, no computer to mess with. Glass is simple all flat, any glass shop can do it and it shouldn't be to much. Interior can get expensive just depends what you want.
If you want some info on link suspensions here is a good link: 4 link for dummies - Northern California Bronco Club . They have a lot of info as does Pirates. Like anything they both have there advantages.
