Default 32's with a leveling kit?

Would 32's look out of place with a leveling kit installed? I'm debating if I should put one on now or wait till I get new tires, which won't be for a while. Would they look too small?

They usually do and I would recommend against a leveling kit from personal experience. Possibility of bump steer, increased wear, shimmy, "wobble/vibration from front end," are all common systems when you take these vehicles out of stock geometry. If you really want one however I would recommend no more than 2" max. Also get leveling struts/shocks because the spacers that sit on the strut or inside of it surpress travel and can cause suspension issues and ride comfort.

Thanks, but I was more so looking to see if 32" tires will look decent with a leveling kit or not.

My first three words answered that question. They usually look awkward and small along with not filling up the wheelwell whatsoever.

I have 32's on my 04. Ill post a pic in a little bit, but i have a 2.5 hbs level on it and i think it looks just fine. I personally wouldnt go bigger than 33's or 34's just because im not a fan of that big of a tire 35's.

The 32s will look fine, it will look better with larger, but not bad with that size. As for size of level, if 04-05 2.5, if 06-08 2 inch. Ford changed rear leaf packs in 06 so the later years don't have as much rake, requiring less of a level.
