Default Tires

So I got a 2006 XLT Supercrew 4WD F150. I wanna put some mud tires on it....

1) I really wanna put these tires on http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....WLV3&tab=Sizes

KM2's seem pretty good

2) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....COWL&tab=Sizes

Or these

Any opinions? Will I need to get new rims too? Or can I fit like LT285/70R17 on my truck? ATM I have LT255/70R17.

Could a LT255/80R17 or LT265/70R17 fit on my truck?

ALSO--- I wanna level my truck. The front definitely sags a little and I wanna try and level it out. How would I go about doing this? I don't wanna put a whole body lift on it just level it out so it looks a little nicer. Any help on what items I need to do this? Where would be the best place to get the work done? A body shop?

On my other 06 f150 I owned a few years ago I had a 2.5 inch level kit and 33x12.50 on the 17in rim. They were mudders and gave me no problems, I could've gone bigger. As for the leveling kit I had a buddy who worked at a midas shop and we had it on the lift there to put the level kit on its not that bad of a job. As for brand I would go hell bent steel, it's good stuff
