Default brush guards and leveling kits

I have a 2001 F-150 SuperCrew XLT. What kind of leveling kit should I get? I'm trying to fit 31s... And would a brush guard off of an 06 fit on my truck? Thanks!

if the truck is 2wd 31s will fit but if it is 4wd 33s or 35s will fit and i dont think the brush gaurd will work but you could hold it up and see if it does post pictures

I'm almost positive the brush guard won't fit. I have an 01 4x4 and I am going with 33's. I think daystar makes one of the more reputable levelling kits for our trucks. Then again, if you didn't want to buy the levelling kit you could just crank your torsion bars a bit. Just my .02

My 265's are not 33's I believe they are closer to 31's if I remember correctly. Thats the tires that came on my truck from the factory.

33s arent stock from factory, the 265s are.
i can fit 285/70/17s (roughly 33s or 34s) on my 00 4x4 without touching the torsion bars, and they dont rub when i turn my wheels lock to lock and go over bumps.

my truck is 2wd does that mean I can't just crank the torsion bars? other people on other sites have said that does anyone know for sure?
