Question Frequently asked

I'm sure this has been asked many times over but here it goes . January I will be getting a 2.5 inch leveling kit, first of all which kit do yall think is the best. Second question what tires can I run after my install, Im going to go with KMC rockstars 20x9, but i dont know what tires to run, hopefully a 33x12.50. Will i run into rubbing issues?, will i need to do some trimming? Hopefully someone has done the same thing with their truck and can give me some much needed help. I currently own a 2006 f-150 2wd. Its my first ford, i have always owned chevy's but this truck is kind of growing on me.

Read this. It should answer all your questions, you should fit the 33s with just a level kit and not have rubbing as long as you stay under 12.5" wide.
Thanks, it's not a common color.

Your 2wd with a 2" level kit will fit 33s without a rub. 35s will fit, but you'll rub during corners and when the suspension flexes
