I have 33 all terrain now. Pumped up to 30 and it’s better. They didn’t align since they want to replace spring kit. Looks like old man emu kit now based on shocks.
What do you think about the tires? Tread looks almost new though they said looked overinflated due to contour.

What do you think about these leaf springs? Shop said they could break.

Tires look fine. Springs are rusty, but I am no expert on rust. If you decide to replace lift, I would suggest spraying shock nuts with Kroil or penetrating oil to avoid breaking the mounting bolt. Spray often for several days and be gentle. maybe some careful heat. You may want to start a thread and post pics up to everyone to get more opinions.
 
I'm a mud-tire-kind-of-guy, and I have those very tires on my Hummer H3 and my wife's Rubicon because I think they are the best AT out there. As for performance, my last tires on my H3 were Kuhmo MTs, the KO ATs are actually better in the mud.

I don't see the issue with your springs, they all get some rust, but unless it's weakening at the eyes (the ends), I wouldn't replace them. On top of that, unless the shocks are leaking, they're fine too.... Monroe shock makes most of the shocks out there - so even replacing them, you're basically getting the same shock painted another color. Align it, drive it - it's not a sports car.
