Nitto Mud Grapplers

Most likely just a little trimming on the plastic valence. Depending on the backspace and offset of the wheels, the side lugs on the tires may rub the suspension components.

F150s have leaf springs in the rear, not coilovers.

Maybe those shocks that have coils over the shock? Post some pics when you get the tires mounted on the rims and on the truck they should look pretty wicked.
