Beginner 4x4er

[71GMCer]

Hey all,

Im just gettin my truck on the road beginning of june and i want it to get me through some deep mud/sand/snow and then also be a fairly good daily driver

What would you guys recommend for a Lift/engine mods/ tires etc.
I was thinking of a 4'' lift with a new carb and intake manifold.

Here she is (either she has a body lift or the big wheels just make it ride abit higher, never really could tell)


Thanks all!
Matt
