    My suggestion would be:

    1. add 3" lift

    2. 33x12.50 AT tires (severe weather rated) on rims with 'offset from hell'

    Even MTs would be OK but really only for deep snow.

    Arrow

    Tires technology improved dramatically the last 15/20 years & becomed more reliable with better designs & safety.
    And because of those facts drivers feels more confident in challenging nature where it concerns speed/traction & grip over different weather conditions but sometimes we forgets that as every human-made product it has its limitations which we continuosly refrain to respect that border.
    Common sense is the best tool against icy roads because snow always have the upper hand in the game no matter how well your tires can perform out there.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Not trying to be a smart ***, but how would a 3" lift help in the snow/ice?

    Squeeze in 33x12.50's without a lift & you can drive in str8 lines real good ... not much else.

    I was just trying to get him to think 'big picture'.
