if you want to just run 33" tires then just get a leveling kit but it you want 35's with a leveling kit then your looking at a very limited selection of wheels to choose from to fit 35's with limited trimming otherwise I would jump it up to a suspension lift and your selection of wheels will be a lot larger but there is quite a price difference a leveling kit runs about $75 and a suspension lift is gonna be about $1500 and then your probably gonna wanna re gear which will be another $1100.

fabtech, procomp, rancho are good lift kits. and i think a 2 inch leveling kit will allow you have 33s.

Or a PLS kit from Performance Accessories. That's a 3" body lift with a 2" leveler plus gap guards. The whole kit will cost you about $900. The labor to do an '09 is a lot less than the previous generation of F150s. You no longer need to go through the cab of the truck to get to the body bolts.
