If you install a 2.5 level in the front and add a leaf or taller blocks to the rear your truck will not be level.. that's what you may want though.. up to you of what your looking for.. for the tire question.. look at the new trail grappler or the BFG KO2.

Also I'm looking for an aggressive looking tire that still does well in snow and wet conditions.

I'd honestly say that an AAL is the way to go. It'll provide you with the stiffness you need if you tow. As far as tires go, what's your budget?

I also would like to install a new exuast system that sounds a bit nicer but not too aggressive.

Thank you

I'd recommend +12 offset. Or 0. I have 0 and it looks awesome, but you may have some slight rubbing, depends on alignment (caster).

Huge shoutout and thanks to ak cowboy. Without him I would have put the 17x9's on and probably would be rubbing. But thankfully I'm not rubbing, just racing. Here's the truck now. 315/70/17 BFG AT on 17x8 Vision Raptor Wheels.
