nitto 325/60/18 on a 2WD

I have a great deal from a friend that works at a tire shop and they have a set of Terra Grapplers 325/60/18s but only that size. What has to happen to make these fit a 2004 XLT 2wd? I have Eagle alloy 187s so the backspacing is cool just wondering if a 2.5 inch level and a block or add a leaf in the rear will make these look good.
If anyone has done this size on a 2wd please let me know and pics would be sweet too.

Be careful. The nittos 325/60/18 require a minimum 9.5" deep rim to be mounted to Nittos specs. If you go any smaller, Nitto doesnt warranty the tire. Heres what they look like on an F250. Rims are 18x10.

A girl I know has a 2004 2wd screw and has those tires mounted on pro comp extreme 9" wheels and with the 2.5" leveling kit it works great and looks very nice.

I got them on! they did hit the black front valance at full lock. The shop took a set of air snips to them and trimmed of about 1/2 inch off and they are good to go. Hell they even put on my level kit on for free. I love the new look!!!!! Too dark to snap pics but will ASAP +PLUS+ my shakes are finally gone after two years

04xlt, I would like to get your opinion on your setup. How would you compare the factory tires to the larger setup. They look really good. But how does the drive compare? How does it feel around corners, any lag, how is steering changed?

Thanks
