#1 - get some tires if you plan on doing that kind of thing, and not get stuck
#2 - lift choice is up to you. I suggest get one before you drown
#3 - get on the freakin gas! You're not in a big heavy tractor. Clear out the tires.
I would only buy a winch now if you just enjoy running a winch. Those tires you have will let you down in that slop every time. You MAY could spin out of it, but you have to try first.
To answer your question, I'm using a Smitty XRCcomp 10,000lb and have been pleased so far. It proved itself and the mount on its first trip out.
Good luck!

If it was stuck for awhile you probably want to change your differential and transfer fluid. I would also think about extending your breather hoses (axle, transfer case, maybe transmission).
