Some Starting Out Questions

[Schwalbe181]

Im looking for a bit of a lift on my 98 from stock. I want to get about a 2-.3in lift with it, but im not looking for much of anything for offroading, mostly just getting over snow and the bigger look. Ive heard Coil spacers are exactly for that.. Any imput? or better brands than others? And Also i want some bigger tires to fit on the factory t4r rims, and maybe have 32" on them with the new lift. What about a brushguard. Do they come with light mounts or do you have to have to drill those yourself? thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Your questions are by far and away the most common questions asked. If you can, spend some time looking through the threads here since there are thousands of answers. The search function will give you plenty of results too, although given the popularity of the topic you may find it tough to wade through all the crap.

Even though you're not looking for offroad mods I would still recommend replacement coils over spacers. Here's my suggestion;
OME 881 front coils
OME 906 rear coils
OME N91SC front shocks
OME N86C rear shocks
265/75R16 Tires of your choice

you should run 33's with a small lift stock tires are 31's and going to a 32's(?)
(odd size) won't even be noticeable to the eye, a 2-3 inch lift looks nice with 33's , looks stock but just more aggressive. search pics to get an idea the stance.

brush guards are a simple bolt on thing and come with holes for mounting lights.
no drilling required anywhere.

as for the lift thing: search there's about 10 ways of doing it and all have their advantages and draw backs, i personally lean more towards the ome
(old man emu set up) it's about $700-800 with new coils and shocks all around, or you can do spacer plates for a 1-2 inch lift for around $200 or a tad more.
