Don't worry, I don't bite...just stay clear of my septic tank, it's been known to swallow small trucks.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of spring overs. Almost every Suzuki owner I run into in person and on the 'net say s to do a spring over. I've concluded that it's just not for me. Seems to make a lot of people happy, but IMHO it's not for everyone.
I like to keep my centre of gravity as low as possible so I am of thought of only lifting the vehicle as much as you absolutely have to to fit the tires you want.
I have a 1" shackle lift, and maybe about another 1"-1.5" in the springs. That fits 31s on my Samurai with some minor body work and some tire rub here and there.
I find that my truck flexes as well as or better than some spring over Samurais I've encountered.
Low works for me!
...btw, 235s will get you to a lot of cool places. I ran some lame treaded 235s for Rock Crawl last year, and I did fine...open diffs and all.
