2" body lift and Air ride...a few questions

[Nitrous SSC]

ok....this spring i'll be doing a 2" inch body lift because it seems like the best bang for the buck and also I might beable to keep the air ride/lift suspension that I love so much...

The X is used as my business vehicle as I'm a Realtor so I've gota keep the ride good....and I love the way it lifts the X 3-4 inches when in "offroad"....also its going to be used for extreme camping this summer

My questions are these....

#1....Will doing the 2 inch body lift screw up the air ride at all?...i don't think it will because the I think the mounts for those little sensors are on the frame....

#2....what size metric tire should I run on my 16 inch rims?....I was thinking 265/75's would be OK...

#3...with a body lift will it make it hard to put on a front brush/grill guard since they bolt to the frame??

any feedback would be great...

Thanks guys

265/75 sound like a good plan with that lift

Yes, without fabricated mounts it won't be right

OK so if I wanted a Grill Guard I'd need to get one thats bumper mounted....my biggest concern about that is strength....

I wanted a Frame mount but i've heard they kill approach angles and its already tough enough with that front air dam...which is why i wana do the 2 inch lift...

Also If I did do the 2 inch body lift with my 255/70/16's will it look really goofy?....I know the tires on it right now are the max it should be anyway...
