Default Level or lift?

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the truck game. I'm buying a black 2007 FX4 supercrew cab. I'm having a lot of trouble deciding on just leveling the truck or doing a 3" in the front and 1" in the back. I think I'd like to run 33" tires. Any pics and recommendations are appreciated. Besides the lift I'm curious if anyone has good suggestions for black wheels and off-road or all terrain tires that don't break the bank?

Thanks.

Don't do a 3" spacer in the front. You'll destroy your cv joints and your suspension angles will be beyond severe.

Keep it safe and do a 2" up front.

Also, dont try to lift on a budget. Lift plus wheels and tires are super expensive. Unless you know a guy........
