Default Leveling/Lift Kit required for bigger tires?

Hey guys, I've got a 2013 FX4 and I wanted to upgrade my stock tires to BFG All-Terrain T/A KO's. This is obviously a bigger tire (but same 17" rims), so would I need a leveling kit or a lift kit to install these? Or am I good with the stock? Thanks!

Looking to upgrade from the stock Goodyear Wrangler 275/65/18 to a set of BFG All Terrain T/A KO's LT315/70R17. I don't really know anything about tires, are those the right sizes? Thanks!

These are 315x70x17 BFG TA/KO's on 17x8 wheels with 5.5 inches of backspace...no rubbing but needed a 2 1/2" leveling kit..this was on my '04 Lariat.
