    Probably stick with a 3" lift maximum for what you described. Avoid spacers and blocks.

    Wheels either your stock wheels + wheel spacers or new wheels with a backspace of 4.5" or less (helps with clearance)

    Tires really just need more info on what terrain ect.. But probably a 33" tire if you don't mind a little plastic trimming

    Are you trolling? Your 1st post said " don't want anything big" and then you throw out 6" w/37's??

    Ok so don't buy a Bulletproof 12" lift haha

    You have to ask yourself if you want a drop bracket, which means cutting out part of your cross member (no turning back unless you have a pre runner, in which case you want new spindles for that large of a lift not a DB)

    the picture you show looks like a 3" lift...which would be just fine for what you are looking for, tires can be 285's with no trimming needed, based on what wheels you use.
