Proposed Suspension Lift

Hey guys. I'm trying to put together a shopping list of items that I'll need to lift my truck a bit. I'm not going to be doing any serious offroading at this time, as this is my daily driver. However, I'd like to lift it enough to give it a more aggressive look and stance.

So, after reading through some of the posts here, and listening to several opinions, I've put together the following list. Please let me know your thoughts on the following items.

Xterra Front Lift Coils

Daystar 2" SL (Do I still need to install the spacers if I install the AC coils?)

Timbren Front and Rear Kits

Questions
Will the front and rear be balanced out with this combination of parts?
Will I be able to fit a 295/75R16 or 305/70R16 with this lift? (obviously on aftermarket rims) I'd go with BFG AT's.
Can I still use the stock Bilsteins that came on the truck, or will I need to change those out?

And, of course, I'm looking to get the Shrockworks front bumper and sliders at some point, as well. So, the truck will really look BA. :)

you want the AC coils. you want the Daystar shackles.
You dont want to have the AC coils with the daystar spacers up front unless you want to get into serious complications later down the road.

My advice is buy both kits because Daystar doesnt sell shackles and spacers separately. just dont install the Daystar spacers. Get the Timbrens they work.

And no the 295/75 or 305/70 wont fit. And yes you will need to replace the rear shocks and you should also extend the brake lines

Dont know the Bilstein part number but tomorrow im getting ranchos i can give you that part number. The truck will be even with that set up, and yes 285/75 are the biggest tire you want to go with that setup.
