Default Tire Question

I have a 2009 F-150 with 265/65/18. I am going to put new tires and rims on along with a 2 inch leveling kit. I wanted to go a little bigger on the tires. The 4 X 4 shop said the next higher tire size would be 305/60/18. However when I look at the tires specs, it actually is a tad bit shorter than the ones I have. I am thinking about a 325 or 295 tire. They will be Terra Grapplers on Dick Cepec DC 2's. Anybody see any problems with this?

I went from stock 275/65/r18 on a 2009 fx4 to a 285/65/r18 with a 2" level. The overall diameter is 0.5" taller and just a tad wider. I went with the nitto trail grapplers. Like them so far but did see about a 2-3 mpg loss on highway. If I had to do over again...i would go with a 33x12.5 tire. The reason I didnt was I got my tires online for $1080 shipped. pretty good price for the size and they are a M/T tiire.
