Default Should I wait for wheels and tires then level?

I just bought my 2009 xlt screw. I want to level the truck. I have the stock 18's with a regular truck tire. (Sorry don't have exact tire size.)
My questions is should I wait until I can get new wheels with a more agressive tire and then level the truck? I'm thinking 33's probably with an 18" wheel. Or, should I just wait and do it all at once? comments/opions appreciated. Cheers!

I leveled the truck first, and now im saving for tires. Still looks better than stock even without the new tires.

Lets see some pics of the leveled trucks with stock tires. Also, note how much leveling you have, as they seem to be between 1.5"-2.5".

I am contemplating this as well, but in the meantime I pulled the rear block out of my fx4 to somewhat level it. I will get some pics once I figure out how, and actually take some, lol.

Cool, Thanks for the responses. Now I have to decided on the level kit. I read through some threads. I probably just go with a 2.5" spacer. thanks! Cheers!
