What should I do?

First of all hello, I've been lurking for a while and now I have a question. I just today bought a 2008 F150 Super crew XTR anyway I was thinking of getting these:

But I will still be running stock rims and tires 18's with P275/65R18:

(same truck but with towing mirrors)
My question is would it look funny with the "little" tires, and has anyone done it? I only want the leveling kit, but when I tow my trailer I don't want it to look saggy...
Your thoughts, and is this even a good price? Also has anyone dealt with this seller?

Sorry about all the links I can't post pictures...

you are not going to hear anything bad about autospring here. it will look ok untill you decide to get bigger tires.

That is going to happen (the bigger tires) but not until these are worn out. So with that in mind do you think it would be better to get a 4 or 6 inch lift in it? Or would that look stupid until I get bigger tires? I am inclined to get the leveling kit anyway until such a time as I am going to go with new rims and tires, it could take 3 or more years to wear those tires out the way I drive.

I would get the leveling kit. Go for something like the 2". That way, later down the road, you can always buy the 6" lift. Throw some 35" tires on. And even later down the road, you could add your 2" spacer to the 6" lift and go even bigger.

For what your talking now, I would suggest the leveling kit. Autospring's 2"

I've decided on the 2" AS and a 1.5" AAL. I see a truck on here (several actually) with the stock rims and tires that have that same setup. I have another question though, I phoned an alignment shop and he said I need "custom alignment" whatever the hell that is. He said that they can't use the fatory setting so they need to "play with it". Umm is it me or is that what an alignment does? Anyway I phone another shop and he said that they will do a regular alignment, but they may not get it back into alignment, because I may have changed it too much...what have you guys done?? I really think it is not as bad as they make it out to be otherwise who would do it???
