2" or 2.5" level kit with 1 inch rear block? 33 inch tire

I cannot decide what size lift to get for my 2010 F150. 2"front level or 2.5" level kit with 1 inch rear block? I have 33 inch tires so I want to level my truck and raise it without going to high with a open wheel well. Pictures appreciated, Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

2WD? If so, I believe that's a good way to go. Even if 4x4, 2-2.5" up front with a block 1+" larger than stock for the rear looks stellar. Either amount of front lift is fine. I chose 2" to limit the strain on my balljoints. My personal taste and opinion: 1" block is good for a 2" level, but would probably do a 1.5" for a 2.5" up front. I like how mine sits and it's just how I wanted it, but most folks prefer just a touch less of rake.

All of the later the pics in my albums are of my 2006 2WD screw with 2" added front and back with 275/60/20 (33.0x10.8") tires, for reference.

I think you will need 34-35" tire if you are worried about fender gap and tiny tire syndrome.
I have blisteins set at .75 on the front and no rear block and my 33" BFG TA look small sometimes. I wish I had 34's on my setup. If I had a 2" front lift I would want and would buy 35" tires to make it look good - so the fender gaps are not so "gappish" LOL. MIND THE GAP

I think you can get by if they're full 33x12.5s and are mud tires, otherwise they'll look small.
