Looking for a suggestion for my 2011 F150 Lariat screw - all stock right now.
My Pirellis are about shot at 31k miles - they're 275/55/20's and I want something to fill up the wheel well a bit. I stopped at a local well respected off road shop near me to ask about a level and what the largest tire was that I could reasonably expect to be able to use. The owner was on vacation so I spoke with one of his installers.
He suggested a 2.5" BDS level with rear blocks - installed (including realignment) at $670. He also suggested Dick Cepek Fun Country 285/55/20's at $388 each mounted and balanced (which seemed extremely high to me).
I was a bit put off by the installed price of the level kit so I may hold off on that but was very bummed about his suggestion of only 285/55/20 tires with a level not to mention the price.
So I've regrouped a bit and did more research here and my thoughts right now are Cooper ATP 275/60/20's from Discount Tire Direct at $177 each and having Costco mount and balance them for me. Will I need a realignment if if I do this?
Also - my thoughts are this size will fill up my wheel wells decently until the point where I get a level - and even then should still look fairly decent and not too small (like my Pirellis do now). Or should I consider a different tire size assuming I'll do a 2.5" level fairly soon?
Anyway I'm open to some other suggestions, opinions or general input. I'd like a more aggressive tread and larger looking tire - I have to keep my stock 20" Lariat wheels for now (darn school taxes are due) but think I'd like to get a level fairly soon. Curious if others think that $670 level/realignment price sounds high as well.
Many thanks!

275 60 20 will be taller than 285 55 20 anyway. But with a level on 4x4 you can go fairly large with stock wheels
