Welcome to the site! My suggestion is for you use the advanced search feature. Many, many threads about this floating around in F150online's section of cyberspace.

All you need to do is crank up the preload on the torsion bars to level you truck. Don't forget to get an alignment afterwards. For tires, I'd suggest a 285/70-17 (33x11.50), 295/70-17 (34x12.00) or a 305/65-17 (33x12.50).
