Need some assistance!

Hi guys, I just picked up an immaculate 2000 TF Rodeo dual cab 2.8TD with low kms (consider myself lucky)

I'm in the process of fitting it out with the usual central locking, keyless entry, tint, lift kit, tyres, dual battery etc etc etc

I want to lift it, but I keep hearing of people having issues as a result. Uneven tyre wear along with a number of other problem. I have an RA7 Rodeo and luckily I've had no issues with the lift kit in it as I adjusted camber etc.
The reason I want the lift is to increase ground clearance for the beach as it predominately will be used for daily driving and fishing on the beach. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice on this?

The next question is whether 31s will fit on the TF rodeo with or without the lift? If I cant do a lift then the tyres would be something I'd still like to do.

I'm also looking for an alloy roof cage, however I'm not having much luck. I know a track lander version will fit, but spending $1300 for a 1400 rack is just ludacris and having a difficult time finding a solid aluminum with mesh bottom. Any ideas?

I'm in Perth.

Many thanks in advance.
