15's won't fit.
Next size up is the 285/75x16.
Bear in mind this will put your speedo out. I have them on my 80 series diesel and would never do it again even though I just bought a new Prado.
My next set was going to be 265's. I lost too much low down grunt off the mark.
2 inch lift is no probs at all.
You wont have to extend brake lines or fit castor correction kits, unless you want to. Get the castor checked after fitment. Most GU's need a correction plate on the left side to stop them pulling left so that may be required.
As for shocks. Sky is the limit but don't make the same mistake I did. I removed the standard Toyota ones which are of an excellent quality. I won't replace them on my Prado. Toyota's are made by Tokico so try and find a set of them. Good price and great off road. You buy all the top name products but IMHO its a waste of good money which can go elsewhere.
A mate of mine has an 02 GU and had nothing but dramas with wheel wobble. Put ROH steelies on and still wheel wobble. With the wheel on a balancer and a dial guage on it, ran off the scale. He put after market alloys on , no more wobble. Same tyres. I have a customer with an 02 TD42 with bad wheel wobble. Has Sunraiser rims. I don't know how they drive it.
Moral of the story is be very careful what rims you put on.
