What size tyres with how much lift

I know this has been done to death, but I figure it can go into the bible. I have a lwb GQ, and plan a 3" lift with 1" coil spacers. I want to run 33" road tyres, and 35" off road tyres. I eventually plan on a 2" bodylift, and don't mind cutting a little of the guards. thanks

so 3" susp, 1" coil spacer, and no body, and a trim will be ok?

I run 2.5" springs, 2" body and minor triming for 35's.
IMO better handling and less to go wrong with this height.

I agree, i might not even go the bodylift. just the springs.

Why don't you just buy 4" lifted coils?

this rig is built mainly for towing, so needs to be pretty stiff. i dont want the wallowing associated with long coils. but i still want to wheel it a bit.

44's and 2" lift, just remove panels and put on wider axles
