Default 21 F150 FX4 leveling

Just recently got a new to me '21 F150 FX4 with the 18" rims. Just came from a '17 F150 with factory 20", 2" leveling kit, with KO2's. I like keeping the factory rims. Ive got 2 questions...#1, what level is best with the '21 FX4? I've been seeing the 2-2.5" level. Recently looked at the 2.3" level from stage 3 motorsports. Question #2, what's the best tire? I'd rather stay away for trimming or removing crash bars but want something that's going to look good? I've seen Nitto Grapplers, KO2's, and a few others. just really stuck on the best size. Any helpful tip, suggestions would be much appreciated. Also, any pictures of your truck would help. I'll try to post one of mine in a bit. Again, Thank You!

There is no single "best" level or "best" tire.

It helps to provide the use you plan on using your truck for.

Are you going to the sand dunes and want a tall truck or do you like it to look good driving to work with a fairly quiet highway drive?
The bigger and/or heavier you go the more it will hurt your MPG. Just saying that the good looking tire may only be offered in the heavy model -is that still the best?

I did a motofab 2.5" level on my 15 and installed raptor 12.50/35-17 NO rub looks good. Rides better than the 20s did have more sidewall for cushion.
