Rock crawling needs the suspension to articulate and be super smooth./ This means no sway bar and super soft spring and shock set ups.
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.
