Default 33s vs 35s

Hello,
I am wanting to modify my 2005 green f150 supercrew with new tires and im torn between getting a 6 in suspension lift and 35s or a 2.5 inch leveling kit and 33s. What are the pros and cons of these? and will the 33s look good with the level kit? What are some good mud tires that also have good highway life?
Also, what are some cool rims for me to look at?
thanks

Is your truck a 4x4 or 4x2, also for tires are you looking for strictly a mudder or a hybrid (mud/all terrain), and for type of rims you looking at rims ie. Black, chrome, polished, black and polished.

is it 2 or 4 wheel drive? if its 4 you could do a 2.5 level with 35s. some good mud tires that last are the the nitto trail grappler or the toyos. the rims all depends on what you like and wanna spend i like a lot of the XD series wheels and the fuel wheels are nice too

Looking for hybrid more or less. I work on a farm during the summer so it would come in handy alot but i need the durability to last on the road without sacrificing too much usablility. (or look)
As for rims I want black, or black an polished, I am not decided but I would like to compare. Ive seen monster XDs and some others but I just dont know what would look good yet

since you have a 4x4 you can run 35's on stock rims with just a level, but IMO i think they look stuffed i would run 33's instead. I have Goodyear duratracs and i absolutely love them they're quiet on the road, good in the dry and wet and still look tough.

Heres what im running

If I got a level kit it would be with Blisten shock kit. What size tires are you running? Also any pictures?

@skidoo Nice truck man. What kind of rims do you have?

Depends if you're willing to drop a couple grand or a couple hundred bucks..I'm a big fan of black wheels, but it depends on how much chrome is on your truck. Post pics of your truck and people will give you more advice. Any mud terrain won't last as long as an A/T, they all have pro's and con's and everyone will give you a different opinion on tires..just buy what YOU like
