Default lift & 265/75 R18 tire question for 03 Disco

getting a 2" terrafirma medium duty lift/shocks for my 03 disco from BA. i have 2 questions....

1. currently i have no accessories on the front/back. is this going to give a level lift when installed?

2. i've decided to go with a 265/65 tire on factory 18" wheels. i don't want to redo the axles/spider gears so a 32" tire is as big as i want to go. i am leaning twards the BFG KO A/Ts. anyone recommend anything different? i do most of my driving on-road.

thanks in advance...

What do you use the Disco for?
have you already replaced or rebuilt your front drive shaft.

F.Y.I. a 265-75/18 is a 33.65" (34"nominal) tire. Conversely, a 265-75/16 is a 31.65" (32" nominal) tire.

I run 265/65-18 BFG A/T... LOVE THEM!!!!
odd size, but thats what fit on my RRS, so I just swapped them to my Disco... Waiting for them to wear out (problem is, these tires last forever) before switching to r16... will stick with the same tire
