MD TF all the way around and 265s:
I believe the TF +2s are supposed to yield a two inch lift with bumper+winch and other equipment (100kg?). I'm not sure what is to be expected without any additional equipment.

Lift looks good, but you need bigger tires.
I took out the upper shock mount and removed the shock then. I dont own a air compressor and the nut on top was a pain. I wish I had some 265s but i had to go with tires before I lifted because I had to start driving her to work everyday (70 miles) and the old tires where shot. Maybe they will wear out quick!

I put 245/75/16s on mine after running with 235/70/16s for a couple years after the lift. Looks much better and (so far) I haven't had to consider a Camel Cut.
