New tires, now what

Well I have an 02 ranger xl, It's prob the most "basic ranger you can get. I am wanting to do a spindle lift. I am just going to use the stock shocks for a few months until I get more $. I already bought 2" blocks for the rear even though i should prob have gotten shackles but can upgrade later. I also ordered some 30" bfg MTs. What do you guys think of this, I thought 31s would fit too but I dont want any rubbing. My coworker has bfg Mt 30s on his single cab toyota and it looks good I think. Do you think I would be ok with the stock 3.73 gears? I am really leaning to the fabtech spindles as I am willing to spend the money on them. What else do I need to install them? I have an angle grinder, jacks and hand tools, should I rent any special tools? Oh and do I just get some regular hi temp grease? I was going to order the spindles from Perforamncelifts.com for $449, anyone found the fabtechs cheaper? should I get the fabtech alignment kit also for $45 of just wait to see if I need one at the alignment shop? Lots of question I know but I wanna do it right the first time. Thanks!

Here is a thread currently going on:

https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=46160

I have some spindles for sale if you are interested. I ran them with 32s with minimal rubbing in front, only happened when backing up at full turn to the right...but it grinded off a little of the valance and didnt do it anymore. I had 3.73, if you dont mind dropping the $ id go with 4.10 or 4.33
