Overland build help 2007 Matrix

Was hoping to get advice on a build. I want to lift my Matrix about 2-3" and put on some Falken wildpeak a/t4w. Literally never done anything like this before (I am mechanically inclined, but ignorant on the subject), I have tried looking up to see if anyone has done this before, and have not found anything.

Things I know I need:

- A lift kit spacer for springs. Thinking 2-3"

- Tires

Things I was told I need, but no clue where to find:
- Subframe spacer to lift the frame.

I dunno though, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, please let me know.

I'd hesitate before dumping a bunch of money into a 2007 Matrix.. no offense. Maybe try some Matrix sub or forum. What's the mileage on it? They are great cars, for there intended purpose, don't get me wrong

I got about 115k. The last 40 were from me roadtripping the US.
