What is best levelizing kit and larger tires for my 05 F150

I am want to install a levelizing kit my 150 and putting larger tires on the stock 18" rims. It's all about the looks. I travel about 40k miles per year and would like something fairly smooth and quite, as far as the tires. Any recommendations??

I agree with the recommendation of the Autospring leveling kit. If you have a 4x4, you can go as large as a 35x12.50 using the OEM wheels or you can run 33's using larger aftermarket wheels. I'd also recommend looking at the Toyo AT's.

I run the 2" auto spring kit and 305/65/18 BFG At's on my stock rims and you could not ask for a better combo, and I drive about 80 miles a day to work, 40 both ways and the tires are smooth and quite, and I have zero rubbing.

If you are going for looks and an aggresive look go for the pro Comp Xtreme At's in 305's on 9" wheels.

18 or 20's

Thanks for the input on the levelizing kit. Does it require a brain surgeon to install this or should I let the professionals do it? Also, I have looked at the 20" OEM rims for my truck Vs the 18" which will have the better ride and more agressive look with larger tires.

PICS! I want to see what mine will look like before I pull the trigger on it.

Thanks.

I have the same setup on my new truck with a 2" Autospring. Awesome combo. Pics in gallery.
