I've read 33's will rub with a 2" lift, so I'd definitely go with 32's. Post some picks of your truck with what ever tire choice you pick cause I'm doing a similar setup... http://www.roughcountry.com/ford_2wd..._leveling.html with some 31" tires which is what they recommend but if you can fit 32's I'll be getting those.

That link I sent you shows the computer with the molded dash mount they send with their programmer. So ya, it stays in there the whole time.

Yes. I run 275/55R20's right now and they are 31's. I have ordered a 2in level kit and plan on going to a 275/60R20 which is a 33. My truck is also a 2wd.
