Leveling Kit and Tires
I want to purchase a front end leveling kit for my 2004 FX4 4x4. What leveling kit would be the best choice? I also would like to get a set of aggressive tires for the truck one the leveling kit is installed. What tires would be a good choice also? I currently have 275 on 18"rims....
Thanks in advance

Just get the New Autospring..
Just buy the "new" autospring kit. It is designed to have a small angle so that it does not rub on the spring, which may or may not happen. Why take the chance.
As far as tires go, you can go as big as 325/60 with the stock rim. If you change it to a wider one you will/may have problems. The next smaller size is a 285/60, I find this to be the perfect size if you still want to keep the tires within the wheelwell. Just run down the tire store to see one. Only problem with going to 285/60 is limited amout of off road tires if that is what you are looking for. Choose either Goodrich or Nitto Grappler's. Bunch of aggressive all around tires available, Toyo Proxes, Kumho, Cooper, Sumitomo.
Hope that helped.
