Baja needs to have sway bars and a stiffer set up over all. Focus more on overall suspension travel and robustness( read very very abusive).
The short wheel base that makes Jeeps get for climbing over anything is going to add alot of instability. Might not be a big deal now, but e first time you jump it you'll realize it.
Solution: build the Jeep for rock crawling and buy a used sand rail. You can find them all over SD ranging anywhere from $1,800 to $100,000.

I've jumped my stock jeep . . . pretty good in fact. I (technically my Jeep) broke the tail bone of a HS girl who was riding in the back w/o a seat belt coming back to school from lunch. Kinda confirms my suspicion. There's probably a reasonable cross between street, rock, and high speed trail driving in there somewhere.
BTW, check out the vids from our
Silverwood adventure.
