Default Leveling kit and tires??

I have an 07 FX2 screw and I'm planning on putting a leveling kit. I've been looking at the hell bent steel 2.5" spacer kit but I'm seeing more guys on here using the 2.5" Autospring kit. Is the AS kit better?? Also Im looking at a set of 275/60/20 cooper zeon ltz. I'm worried that it might look kinda small on a leveled truck. Will this be ok or should I go up to a larger tire? Anyone with pics of this setup please post. Thanks

the hbs kit is awesome, and a **** ton of people use them. the autospring is probably the exact same thing and about $15 more.

pick whatever tire size you want, ive got 325/60/18 and i love them.

the autospring comes powder coated and you dont have to rotate your strut 180 degrees to put it in

I'm doing a 2" level on my truck and will be running 275/65/18...little smaller wheel but once done can post a few pics for you to see. I don't think it will be too small of a tire for a leveled truck. It will be a couple weeks though.

FYI you don't have to have a leveling kit for those tires, even on stock wheels. Mine came with that size

Oh...yeah, yeah, yeah...I know, they were stock tires on mine also, I was just saying that they should look okay with a 2" level kit. OP was asking about 275/60/20's

Thanks for the info guys, I was looking at the 305/55/20 but the price is why I'm not going with that size, its over $100 cheaper to go with the other
