Default leveling kit?

I have a 2006 FX4, and i have decided to to put BF goodrich 305/65/r18 AT's on it. But i will need a leveling kit. Does anybody know what will look better with these tires.....a 2" leveling kit or a 2.5" leveling kit?

thank you,

Go with the 2" unless you are going to get a brush guard or something else that will add weight to the front end, then go with the 2.5" spacer.

A leveling kit is a spacer, just a different term for it.

So in your opinion the 2" would look better?

To me the 2.5" spacer makes the front look a little higher than the rear when there is not added weight up front. So yes a 2" would look better IMO.

I had a 2.5" kit on mine prior to my suspension lift and I think it looked great. It probably actually measured a little higher in the front, but you certainly couldn't tell it by simply looking at it.

Tide, so you've seen a pic of me, so would you consider my bodyweight as "added weight up front"? LOL! So does this mean when I level my truck that I should go with the 2.5" kit. I'm joking, but still looking for a serious answer. Thanks man.

Wow, umm you would be fine with the 2" kit, but if you and another lifter were in the truck you might notice a difference.
