Well, the old gal needs new tires - & I have this Fastman throttlebody for it laying around - so I reckon I'll go this 2" lift route while it's in the shop. Any recommended retailers? Anybody here a board sponsor that sells them, or the like?

Jon has the OME 2.5" lift on his site. Not sure if he sells the rough country but you can go here for that. I recommend spider track spacers. I know Jon can get stuff not listed on his website so you can check with him if you want. You can check out some tires reviews HERE

Another vote for OME lift kit. For the tires, Discoverer AT3 and Grabber AT2 have 265s.
Just so you know because some people mounting tires get this wrong. The relationship between the tire and the knuckle bolt (from the UCA ball joint) never changes. So if you mount your tire and it only clears the bolt by 1/8" your good. That distance never changes during suspension or steering travel. The mechanic tried telling me my tires wouldn't fit because it barely cleared that bolt. It was weird explaining to him he was wrong. So if it don't rub on the lift it will never rub.
Here you can see the bolt pointing down. These are bigger tires and would not fit without spacers. I just wanted to give you a visual of the knuckle bolt tire relationship.
Thanks for that visual! I appreciate the heads-up from you guys who KNOW the underside of your Commanders, because I DON'T! It's been a DD ever since I got it, so other than maintenance issues - for the most part - I haven't really fiddled with it that much - certainly not in relation to tires and lift.
Last truck I had with coils, was a '79 Bronco... and it only had two! I'll show all this to my mechanic, and we'll plot it all out before we get 'er on the lift.
