We have had a lot of over sand experience. (see www.youtube.com- living the lance life, 3 0f 4). The video was taken at Assateague Island on the Maryland/Virginia coast. The tires are IMHO the most important item to upgrade for weight handling.
We have two sets of wheels and tires. 19.5" "H" rated very HD wheels and tires for our extremely heavy TC for highway use and a set of 16" Nitto Dune Grapplers for over sand use. For the rig your contemplating, which is much lighter than ours, the Nitto's would be fine as a regular tire. We have several rigs hereabouts that have done the same for a while with out any problems. The Nitto's are excellent when aired down being used in the soft sand on Assateague, where only SRW trucks are permitted.
Many here, my self included, have upgraded our suspensions with Rancho adjustable shocks, rear wheel air bags, and HD bump stops. All of these have been helpful.
A search on this site will inform of many of the problem/solutions of setting up various rigs for beach and general use. Your combination is frequently seen. The popups are good for weight saving and improved fuel economy.
