Hi Guys,
I bought a 2005 Land Cruiser a few months ago. The rig has 170,000 miles. I need to do something with the suspension... I am up here in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and the most off road its going to go on are some forest trails/fire trails and light camping. No rocks at all. I don't have any need to armor it up (no front or rear bumpers). I may put some sliders on to replace the factory side steps in the future as my wife is 5'3'' and we have 3 kids under the age of 5.
My plan is to get a 2.5 inch lift within a month and swap out my relatively new (5,000 miles) Michelin LTX A/T2's (275/65/18) with larger (not sure how much larger - would love opinions) tires to increase clearance for our blizzards up here as well as overall stance of the rig (I am 6'3'' 270lbs and don't mind climbing up into a taller LC).
If I am not loading the LC up with equipment/bumpers etc...
Thanks for any and all feedback.

- What would be the best shocks/coils setup as a daily driver on a 2.5 inch lift. I Would like to keep the ride smooth for my wife and myself but gain the clearance of the 2.5 lift and larger tires.
- What size tires would you all recommend for my application?
Thanks for any and all feedback.
