Default 2008 fx2 leveling help

I am new to this site but have been reading for awhile and have a few questions.
I have a 2008 FX2 on stock 20s, looking for reccomendations on leveling kits and tire brands and sizes for stock rims for now, any suggestions would be appreciated along with pics for reference

I put a lowering shackle on the rear of my truck. It's still not level. It's about .5 of a inch to high but I still think it looks good. It's sitting on 22s which I think is perfect for these trucks. I'll post a pic.

Truck sits exactly like mine. Lol but i dont mind the little rake it has. I love the stance cause on a level surface it looks level.

Yeah, just lower the rear?

Do you want street look or off road? Raising the front will give it more off road look.

I would lower the rear on a fx2 just cause the truck looks good lower. But that's my opinion. But the op opinion matters more cause it's his truck and what he wants. But either way these trucks are awesome no matter what.

Check out this guys thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f4/level-new-wheels-94642/

I think this is what you are looking for - looks awesome!

I have a 2wd screw and I am going to level it and run a bigger AT tire - I think I am going to go with the cooper zeon ltz - 285/60/18
