Just bought a 1994 triple locked 80 series

[mearsjudah]

Hey, just bought an 80 series and kind of overwhelmed with the stuff I need to get done.
I have a trip coming up like mid June and really want this thing ready to take.
I have already done an oil change and checked all the fluids, I have a new battery in it (all the basics)
I want to lift it and put new tires on it at least
When it comes to the lift what all do I need? Is it just coils and shocks or do i need to drop some stuff and extend brake lines etc...
For the tires I'm curious what size I can fit without regearing and also where everyone stores the spare once you go over 33'

Last thing: What's the best way to navigate the forum, I'm sure all the questions I'm asking are out there but I'm having a hard time finding the right answers.
Stoked to be an 80 series owner and looking forward to learning more (I know next to nothing for now)
