Default Ok I've been going backwards on a leveling kit. Please help

Ok first off I have a 2010 lariat 4x4. I want to level it and have been searching everywhere for pics of what I want to do to my truck just to get an idea of what to expect. I've been going back and fourth between a full bilstein kit and autospring. I've finally decided I am just going to do a 1.5" AS and a 2" rear block replacment just to keep some rake but add a bit of overall height. But I can't decided on a tire size, this is where I'm losing. I've come to conclusion that most run 275-70-18. I want to keep the stock wheels but will these tires look small as most run these on stock trucks. I want a size that's cheap and available and this seems to be it. Any suggestions thanks. I don't want to regret leveling my truck and 1,000$ on tires.

Sorry in advance I know how often this topic comes up a lot.

Thanks.

275/70/18 might look a little small-ish on a leveled truck. But it won't look too bad if you go with aggressive looking tires. Duratracs would look pretty good on it.

I run that size with a 2.25 bilstein level with stock in the rear and they look good. That size may be small looking with a larger block in the rear though.

I would agree with the above that It will look good, more so with an aggressive tire.

The 2" rear block should only raise the rear about 1/4 inch if I'm thinking correctly, so no prob.

Those look good. I've been looking into cooper at3 I've had them on my jeep and are aggressive enough to not be bad and have 55,000 mile rating and still a good price. The resign I want a rear block replacement is my truck currently measures 37" front and 38" rear. After leving I'll be at 38.5 front and 38.75" rear.

They are Terra grapplers and are great so far. I wanted to go one size bigger but it's my DD and I tow with it.
