Good luck, the first gens are nearly impossible to lift the front bumper on, due to the way that they are mounted to the frame. If you figure out a way, post up! It will come to great use for LOTS of people.

make up some brackets and weld them to the frame so that the bumper can attach a little higher than stock OR build a custom one you can tow from and mount some more lights on?

im going to here soon like this month i hope... but just a 2" body lift and some new rubber but not shure that size yet.... maybe 235's or 245's its also gettin a dick cepek gutter mount light bar and a new duel exuast.....:headbang:
with a 2 inch body lift you can fit more than 235's or 245's. i have 235's on my BII and it's stock (for now). i think you could get away with 30 or 31's. post pics of the body lift!!!
