What should I get???? Please Help!!!

This is what I have:

2004 F-150 4X2.


I'm in the market for new tires and wheels. I would like new tires that are made for some off-road activity. I would like to to get the biggest size tires without getting a lift that costs a lot of money. Also I would like to get a 2 inch lift in the front to level it out. What can I do to this thing without the 1,500 lift kit. What brands etc. Please help. Thanks

Nice size tires (4X4 look)
2 inch lift

Get a 2 in Auto Spring leveling kit, not hard to install (cost $105) then a wheel alignment. Wheels are your choice there is so many combos out there. 17s seem to have more of a selection. I like the 33x12.5x17 but dont know if it will fit under a 4x2. Hope someone can chime in and help.

I'd suggest a 285/70-17 (33x11.50) or a 33x12.50 with a 2.5 inch leveling kit.

I have an 04 4x2 with a 2.5" leveling kit. I fit 295/70/17s under mine with very little rubbing. Take a look at my gallery and see if you like.
