Hey guys I have done a lot of reading lately on bigger tires, different types of lifts and re-gearing. I am somewhat unsure as to what I want to do. Currently I have 235/75r tires (which are way too small) on my 94 4x4 f150 which has a 300 6 and a 5 speed. I have a couple questions and was hoping you all could help me out.

-Axle code on my truck is H8 which I believe means that I have 3.08 gears, what size sire do you guys believe is the limit of these gears in terms of climbing hills and robbing gas mileage, 33x12.50?

- I'd like to level out the truck with either a 2'' daystar leveling kit or more heavy duty coil springs. Is it that much harder to get aligned after raising the front and what is your all's preferred method to raise it (either just the front, or a minimal lift kit,my dad would kill me if i went over 3 inches).

-I really like the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs, which I believe come in 31x10.50 and 33x12.50. I would probably prefer the 33x12.50s but referring back to my question about gearing I don't think the 3.08s would handle them right and I would probably lose too much in power and mileage.

-Do you all know of any really aggressive looking all terrain tires (not bfg all terrains) that come in a 32x11.50?

I really appreciate your alls help and understand that I'm a little scatterbrained right now. Just trying to figure out what to do, any input positive or negative would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
