2001 Sport Trac - lift questions

Your lift options for a 4x4 are:
TT and shackles. Gets you 1.5" and inexpensive. Fits 32's or a narrow 33.
Body lift. Fits wide 33's and is a little taller. Pro, relatively inexpensive. Downside, more time to install or costs more to have a shop do it, and you have to lose the front tow hooks or cut some big ugly notches in your valence to fit them.
You can do a TT/shackles and bodylift both.
Superlift suspension lift. 4", fits 33's. Pro, it's an actual suspension lift kit. Downside, costs a crapload of money and most people can't install it themselves.
Dixon Bros. long travel suspension. Hi-zoot desert race setup. Pro, much stronger than stock or Superlift and more travel. Downside, if you think the Superlift is expensive then this one you don't want to know. Also requires wider fiberglass front fenders and paint (i.e. mo' money on top of what is already a lot of money). If you want to run 35's and not break stuff, this is what you need.
 






gotcha gotcha, i'll probably get that kit to start off with and then purchase a set of wheels. speaking of which, would you happen to know what size wheel in terms of offset, size, etc that i would need? I'll probably go with a 16" but i'm not sure what dimensions ill need to go with. I was looking at some of procomp's wheels and i have to say i like this one most Pro Comp Alloys Series 8089 Gloss Black


I have 8069's on mine in 16x8.
