I have a stock 100 series Landcruiser, and need to replace shocks (and maybe strings as well) Use mainly for camping on beach trips, and looking for recommendations on the following:
1) Tyre selection AT/MT etc
2) Wheel size
3) Lift kit eg 2"
Additional info:
Don't do much round town driving, and would like a bit more clearance for sand driving as spare drags on sand.

Speak with Ryano..
2" lift and 285's should help out. 305's are the same diameter just a bit wider which may help out on sand.
AT's or even HT's are better for sand than mud tyres. The flatter the tread pattern the better they'll float on the sand.
If you want to stop the spare from hitting get yourself a splittie or cheesy spare. The split rims end up at the same diameter as 285's. They tuck up out of the way. There is plenty of these going on evilbay etc.

I used to believe this, until I realised that they're only better if you can't get your pressures right.BEU77y wrote:AT's or even HT's are better for sand than mud tyres. The flatter the tread pattern the better they'll float on the sand.
At the wrong pressure, agressive tyres like to dig, much more than average ATs or HTs. Get the tyre pressures right, and there's no contest.
