Default tire size and level opinions/options on 2013 xlt crew cab

hi guy i used this form before and got some great feedback, so now i have a new delemma, im in the market right now for some bigger mt tires and a leveling kit.(2013 f150 xlt)(also leaning towards nitto trail grapplers) so my question is what would you guys recommend a standard block level on top of the coil spring or ranchos quicklift suspension lift? is ride quality going to suffer with the blocks? or is it worth it to spend the extra money on the quicklift? btw my truck is completley stock and im initially only getting 2.5 in the front( dont want to go higher without a full suspension system) and later 2 inches in the back to restore some of the rack. and my other question is what size tires can i fit with a 2.5 inch level, this is where im reallly at a cross roads, i hear some say not bigger than 33 inches while others say 35, (i personally would like to get 35s) i know if i run the 35s ill probably need to do a little trimming on the front bumper or valence and im prepared for that, but the bigger issue is i take my truck off road quite a bit, and im worried that when my suspension is fully compressed if the tire is going to rub in the wheel well, or posssibly other unforeseen issues, so to those of you who have done any of this already what would you recommend? blocks or quicklift? and 33s or 35s? and if any of you guys have pictures they are always welcomed and i would love to see them along with specs ie: tire rize, width, backspacing, and wheel size ( for fitment purposes) (ideas) ( as well as admiration of these beauts), and thanks in advance for your guys' help

I'm curious also. I have the quicklift and the ride is awesome btw. I was leaning towards the Cooper STT's; the 35's are actually 34.5ish and on a 9" wide wheel should only be about 12" wide..... It'd be nice to test fit the front.

Here is mine. I did a 2" level in the front with 2013 Raptor wheels and tires. The tires are almost 35" and I have zero rubbing issues with zero trimming. I did nothing in the back and I'm level. If anything, the rear is a tad higher. Rides close to stock. I don't have a pic on a level surface. Just thought I'd post this for you as another option.

295/60/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. The size and tire you want. On such a new truck i'd just get a 2.5" spacer lift. As the OEM struts wear you can then upgrade IMO. CCM, AutoSpring, HellBent Steel. Don't overpay for a leveling kit (ProComp, Readylift, etc.)

I did the 2" Auto Spring level with 295/60R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers and stock wheels. According to Nitto, the tire is 34.4" tall. I get minor rubbing on the UCA at full lock in either direction. I love the look:

duce, do you think you have room for a 35.1 tire? looking at the AT2 in 295/65 and they are a little skinnier than your nittos

Absolutely. Height is not the issue. Width is.
