Recommendations for lifting and making my honda ridgeline more aggressive off road?

I have a honda ridgeline 2006 RTS. I want to get new tires and a lift kit, but don't know what tires would fit with the lift kit and what lift kit i would need to purchase. For the tires, i want off road tires that are still capable on road. Under the hood, what can i change to increase speed, torque and over all sound of my motor? Any other Ridgeline accessories that would look cool, and of course benefit me are also appreciated!

Added (1). Would the General Grabber AT2 Radial Tire - 255/65R17 110SR fit on my stock truck with stock wheels?

Added (2). And what valve stem would i need for the General Grabber AT2 Radial Tire - 255/65R17 110SR and the stock wheels in my truck?

Why don't you just get a real off-road truck? The Ridgeline is essentially a minivan with a pickup body on it.
