Default Just a couple of questions

Hi guys I appreciate all of your help. I just have a couple of questions, my truck is a 1998 4.2L f150 single cab

1. What's the biggest tire I can get(without rubbing etc.) for my 16" rims with a 2" leveling kit?

2. Im wanting to change my rear shocks for a smoother ride, what would you guys recommend for new shocks? Nothing too high and pricey but still gets the job done?

4wds have leveling kits too lol

You can fit 33s fine with a 2 inch level.

And for shocks you can just get some pro comps for cheap and they'll be decent
