level the truck and throw on some 33's or 35's and call it a day
I'm shooting for the same thing, but the truck IS for towing my race car. If you don't like the combo step it up another notch.
2" level is like $70 if you do it yourself. Tires....well that depends on what you want.

+1.
Leveling kit that bitch and some bigger rims. Make sure to get at LEAST 8 ply tires since you're gonna be towing.
Since its a 4x2 you'll look rediculous on 35's whining all around town.
Well said...It's a 4X2...if you lift it, nothing greater than 4" or get a new FX4 sticker, lol...I say X2 on the leveling kit for now with some bigger meats...BFG A/Ts are great proven tire...have them on my truck...
I agree I would not lift a 2x4, but I personally prefer a little rake on a truck just like I do a Mustang.
BTW Ford builds a very good vehicle, and in particular they build a excellent fullsize truck thats just as solid as any other make. That truck should stay rock solid for many long miles.
Congrats, it is very nice!

Check out the F150online forums. The Post Pics of Your Lifted F150 thread has a lot of pictures of different setups, a lot of 2WD trucks too. It's an easy way to see what your truck might look like with different lifts and tire combos. The guys there helped me out a lot with my truck.

2.5 MAX.....I have read several horror stories about the 3". it puts the cv joints at too much of an angle. My 2.5" is still quite a bit of angle but has been that way for about 40k miles so it seems to be okay.
I want a leveling kit for my 2wd 05 F-150 4 door (clearance issue sometimes). This is my question,
1.) how much?
2.) what is the tallest tire with no rub. Thanks guys.

Personally I would do no more that a leveling kit. Two wheels drives are meant to go down not up.
the problem with leveling is that every time you have weight in the bed the truck will look awful. does anyone like the look and the front end higher than the bed of the truck.
figure how many times you will need to use your truck for whats designed for before you come to any conclusions about height.:idea: i would raise the front a little but still leave a small rake so the truck is still level when your working.

epper:With that said I would raise the truck 1" in front and 2" out back. Or 2" in the front and 3" in the back.
For tires I think 305-60-18 or 33-12.50-18 would look good if you wish to use 18" rims or 305-50-20 if you wish to use 20" rims.
PS the 20" tires are cheaper
