4wp lists them for $188 for the claws, and $192 for the iroks. But i get them for cheaper than that anyways, which ones should i go with?

those iroks wont last very long at all. even the radials dont last on the road.

Cool, I PM'ed you about them.
I'd go with the 63" Chevy leafs in the back. They're cheap and flex very well. I'd combine them with an extended shackle too(belltech 6400). That's what I run and it's an excellent combo.
I would suggest switching to small bearing spindles in the front and changing to Ford rotors with the 5x5.5 lug pattern. You can get adapters for the rear for about $100 so that'd probably be the easy way to go. Keep us updated.
