I have a 2006 LWB Pajero. I like the tip tronic gear tansmission which offers both manual and automatic gear shifting options. The performance so far gives me confidence in the car.

I have a few modifications in mind (phase 1) and need advice from the experts.
1. Lift kit for better clearance. ARB has a 2.5'" pajero compatible kit but I think I need more.
2. Larger tyres for better traction not sure what size and up to which size before I will need regearing.
3. A supercharging kit (maybe phase 2).

The fact that I know very littel about all these topics in need some recommendations of sites with good reading material that is general (not brand specific) no offense to the Jeep owners, after all if the mods I have in mind will not have the result I expect I am thinking to get me a Jeep.
