Super........I will check that and get back with you, but the KYB's will work okay with the Moog springs right??

Just an FYI if you replace the springs and need to get an alignment - it is most likely going to be a camber bushing alignment, which can cost upwards of $200. Its just the nature of the beast when lifting a truck like ours. I say this because if anything else needs replacing that usually would require an alignment afterwards - tie rods, ball joints, etc.... - now would be the time to do it so you only need to align it once.

Okay........update: I have decided to got with an 18" wheel and tire package. I'm going to run a 285/65/18 tires and I'm looking for wheels.
I assume that the 18x9 is the best choice, so again, I need opinions on the offset?????
The one's I want are as follows......will they fit okay on my 95 F150 4x4?
18x9 5x139.7 (5x5.5) +18mm offset

As mentioned previously, you really want a negative offset, not positive as you increase tire/wheel width. As you increase wheel width, a 0 offset moves the rim closer (by half the width increase over stock) to suspension/body components, a negative offset moves the mounting surface of the wheel inboard on the barrel of the rim, pushing the whole tire farther out when mounted.
Loading the measurements of your wheel/tire choice into wheel-size.com shows you going from 3.75" of backspacing to 5.25", meaning the inside rim will be 1.5" closer to suspension and stuff. Given the tire you want is approx 11.25" wide, it will sit another inch closer than the rim.
If you're only going with a 31-32" tire, you should be able to just use the stock 7.5" rims, unless the wheels are the main reason for the changeup.
Another thing to consider is you'll see lots of people saying their tires rub a bit, but in my own experience with 31x10 duratracs on stock wheels, I didn't get any rubbing (moog 824's) but my ****ty rubber brakes lines were a little close for comfort to aggressive lugs of the tire at full lock (had to move them) . So if you do make that compromise make sure you look over what's going on and it's safe.
I forgot to mention, wheel manufacturers often make their rims to fit all different vehicles, so you may be able to find the same wheel with less backspacing.
