As Bluereptile stated,
For the rear I have a pair of Sand Skat IIs (20x11x10). They are a little steep but you really get what you pay for. Front ones are GBC Dune Trackers (21x8x10).
I agree with his setup with the exception of the fron tires. His are 22x8x10. I have one with 21x8x10 and one with 22x8x10 and the 22x8x10 are much better. The rear tires are Sand Skate II's not Sand Skat.

sand tires, heres my 2 cents i bought the sand skate II's (used) and i thought
the sidewalls were way to hard i let all the air out and still to stiff they
are also to rounded you won't get the whole paddle in the sand. now i sold the
skates and borrowed a pair of skat trac haulers in the 20x10x10 9 paddle
they worked well but didn't like to slide. so now i have the skat trak edge
in 20x10x10-10 paddle on itp .190 rims they worked great up at silver lake
pleanty of hook up and turns good.

If you ever see someone (like me) with the Mini Desert Track comp groove tires, ask to borrow them. You will then understand why the 10 paddle super gumbo monster truck mini tires are not the correct tire for the dunes. You can also call the authority on sand tires-- Sand Tires Unlimited in Riverside, CA. They will explain why the comp's are better.

Don't waste your money. The stock Dunlops are the best non paddled tire for sand. Better then the Ohatsu's. If you haven't been on the sand yet and still have the stock tires you'll have more fun, especially in the corners. Paddles push the front end. Spend that 200-250 on wheels and tires and buy something else. Did I say don't waste your money.......lol

I run the Denton billet model, which has 7 positions and is rebuildable. It's compact, pretty easy to mount, and looks like quality. For tires I'm currently running Skat-Trak Haulers, and would recommend getting Skat-Trak Edges. The Haulers push the front end too much, so that the turning radius is about that of my truck. I ran Mohawks on the front last time; this weekend I'm going to try the stock Dunlops on the front and see if that helps.

I just picked up a set of sand unlimited sand skate II's 20-11-10 on douglas red label and a set of dune runner 22-8-10 on the same wheels for $250. They were used once and in excellent condition. It is like getting the fronts for free. Anyway I will let you know how they work, I will be hitting the dunes with them in the next couple of weeks.
I don't know on the stabilizer don't have one yet.
