Lift/tires with 18 inch wheels question

what you'd think about a Rovertym 2" kit with HD springs and OME shocks... any experience with the ride quality? IF I keep my 18s, what size tire should I run without rubbing or trimming (and yes, I am considering switching to 16s, but I don't think I do enough off-roading to matter as much, nor is tire price a huge factor for me)? Overall, I'm looking for a good balance between a comfortable ride, off-road performance for the few weekend trips I'll take, and a quiet, yet aggresive-ish look. Any others running a similar combo with advice?[/QUOTE]
I have the Rovertym 2" kit and 18" wheels and I went with a 255/70r18 (32") Firestone Destination AT. This combination looks great and I receive tons of compliments. The narrow tires really give the truck a more classic Rover look. As for the ride it is firm but much improved over the worn stock springs. I don't have any rubbing at all.

Thank you 540, Im still impressed with the ride and look of it , but im chasing a metallic clanking noise over bumpy roads thats driving me nuts. No marks on front driveshaft from hitting a crossmember, exhaust isnt hitting anything. May be sway bar end links or worse a wheel bearing or two. Still researching this issue, never a dull moment.

Your truck looks great! Can you give an update on how the tires are holding up? Are you happy with overall performance, sound, quality? I appreciate any info you could share. I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a set and was hoping for some feed back. Thanks!
