:help:

I want to do a good use able lift 3-5" 
Looking for wheel  (offset)
Tire size and overall diameter suggestions


I'm thinking in the realm of 18" wheel

Also I live in pa.  So I can flare 3" but not have tire hang out.
 
:welcome: to the club GTO_Kroh

Ya may want to put some details about your AV so someone can help you

Year Model 2WD 4WD etc
 
Also are you looking for a body lift or a suspension lift kit?


Welcome to the site, hope you have many happy and safe miles in your AV!
 
I would look at any of the major lift companies

3" kits
Skyjacker
Fabtech
Procomp

3.5" kit
Rough Country

4" kit
Zone

5" kit
Rough Country

All good kits. Personally I have the Rough Country 7.5" lift and love it. Running 35s now but I ran those with a 3.5" due to my custom front bumper. I am going to 37s next week.
 
Yes, with a 3.5" you should be fine with 33x12.50R18. It also depends on the offset of the wheel. But in most cases I would say yes you would be fine. And worst case would be that you have to do a very small amount of trimming to do along the bottom of the wheel wells in order to not rub at full turn

Whats the advantage of doing one over the other? I know nothing about lifts

Q
 
Body lift increases the space between the frame and body, suspension lift changes the distance between the frame and ground.  I think a suspension lift is the proper way to do a lift, you can potentially increase your suspension travel with a lift kit, if the kit is not designed well you could have some issues with alignment, but any good one will address that.
