Default What to do with my 07??

Just bought my first truck on Wednesday and I'm looking at the options of a level kit/ lift and new wheels and tires. Im not looking for a huge amount of lift but something thats noticeable and looks good. I was thinking of a 2.5" leveling kit with 33" tires on 19" wheels, and I'm looking for advice if someone has done the same thing and how they like it, and if they had any problems. Pics would be appreciated because there aren't many modded trucks around where I'm from so I don't have a good idea what my thoughts will actually look like. Thanks for the help!

Do they even make 19's for F150's? I know I've seen millions of 18's and 20's. Do they make tires in 19's for 33" overall?

I did a 2 1/2" level on my 08. I have 285/55/20's, which are 32.75"/12.25"/20. I really like it. Only slight rubbing at full turn, and that's only on my mud flaps. I slight trim that I plan to do this weekend will fix that. If I didn't have the mud flaps, 33's would have been fine.

What size rims do you have? I'm getting ready to list my factory take off 20's.

I haven't fully done my research so thanks for the tip I won't be looking for 19s anymore!

18 or 20.. even 22's the higher you go.. the more expensive rubber will cost you.

I love my OEM 20's but man when it comes time for new tires I might have to refinance the house Luckily new tires were part of the deal when I bought it so I got about 30k miles to go.

My 285/55/20's were around $1000. You can get tires cheaper, but not the ones I wanted.
