Would you guys recommend the 32x9.5x15 or the 32x12x15 in these tires? I kinda like the look of tall and skinny tires but would like advice on which would perform better, on and off the road.

I'm in Houston Tx, so it's year round, but no snow. Lots of mud, trails, and some rocks.

You mean 4 link vs radius arm, both styles are "long arms" if you have the coin, get the bds.

The skinny tire will probably cut through the mud the best but the wider tire will grip the rocks better.

Default 3.5-4" lift -- OME with 2" spacers and shackles

I currently have a budget boost of 2" spacers and shackles I installed just because I found it for like 70 bucks.Before that I really just wanted and OME lift because I won't be wheeling a whole lot and put a lot of miles on my jeep for work. I thought it would be reasonable to make it look better and improve my ride etc.
I was thinking about keeping the spacers and shackles and getting the OME lift, I just have some hesitation in pulling the trigger because I don't want to mess around with a SYE or anything yet.
I was hoping to lower my tcase and buy new tires and the lift kit and brake lines too probably, and be ready to boogie.

Any thoughts or experiences that may help my situation are much appreciated.

do you think the ome with the budget boost is a good idea to begin with? or should i just go with a bigger lift from somebody else?

Neither. If you drive it on the road, TSLs are not the tire you want...
