Default 33" tires and leveling kit

First, I like the site and have some reading to do!

I am looking to put a leveling kit and 33" tires on my 2007 F-150 crew cab. I have a couple questions. I want to go with a all terrain type tire. Any suggestions on brands? Also, what do you recommend as for the leveling kit?

I am also looking for a shop in the St. Louis area to do the work for me. I got a price at one place today and they seem a little "shady".

Thanks in advance!

as far as all terrains id got with the bfg you cant go wrong there they cost a little more but they are well worth it in the long run they last a long time i got 75,000 out of a set that i had on my old f-150 and they decent grip to them to but thats just my opinion i know some guys are gonna say nitto tera grapplers but they look like a street tire to me i have the mudd grapplers on my truck now and i run three sets on the other trucks i own and i love them

hell bent steel level ($69 shipped to your door) and nitto terra grapplers. love them! blew my tranny at the redneck yacht club (punta gorda, fl) before i ever got even almost stuck =).

theyre relatively quiet, handle awesome on wet/dry roads, and amazing in the mud and dirt. sand, ehhh, not so much, lol.

I agree with ford4wd08 I put the auto spring 2" kit in mine also $69 to the door. Then I put on LT305 65 R18's BFG's = a 34.7" tire they ride nice and are extremely quiet. If you go to my album there are before and after pics

Thanks guys! I think I will order a leveling kit and install myself. Seems easy enough to do myself.

Will a 325/60/18 work with the 2.5'' leveling kit? I don't want any rubbing. Pro Comp Xtreme A/T any good?
