notice u are overseas.

what tyres/terrain do u do and want to run.

also whats the legalities to lift/tyres.

last one, what brands can u get? OME, Cal mini etc

ideally if only going to run 31-32s then 2" BL and 2" spring will be fine and a good compromise.

With only 31" tyres I'd do the above mentioned 2inch spring and 2 inch body lift with some hammering of the gaurd seams for tyre clearance and possibly small bumpstop spacers.

With regards to which tyre to run it really depends on your needs also, if you want a no holds bared all out mud tyre you can't really go past a simex extreme trekker or it's silverstone copy. If you want something that's still good in mud but better in the rock then perhaps a super swamper TSL. But these are both tyre which are no compromise off road tyres and handle less than perfect on road when compared to a normal radial tyre. If you care about on road handling and comfort than soemthing less agressive like a radial mud terrain may be better, one of the best radial mud terrains is the maxxis treapador In my opinion.
