Default Level it?

Thinking about leveling my 2011 F-150 XLT 4x4 with either a 2.5" or 2" Rough Country leveling kit (with the blocks in the back).
Stock chrome wheels with BFG all terrains 275/65/R18. I want to keep the same wheel and tire set up, but I'm worried about the tires looking too small. Also will the towing capabilities be reduced and how much will the MPG drop?



Imagine a ADD led light bar mount just above the windshield and BFG's
Any thoughts?
Anyone with this already on their truck?

Default Level it.

I recently put a 2" Hell Bent Steel leveling kit and 275/70/18 BFG All Terrain KO2 on my 2013 FX4. I am very pleased with the look and performance of those updates. I would recommend the 275/70/18 because they do fill up that wheel well a little better. It gave me the look I wanted.

The BFG KO2's are great. I was in the woods last weekend, and the didn't slip a bit. The taller tire, and the fact that they are a good bit heavier than the stock Good Year Wranglers have decreased my MPG by about 2-3 miles.

If you do 2.5" in the front and then add blocks to the rear ...it will not be level...
