Lift Or Level?

I'm new here, and to trucks in general. I have an 05 F150 FX4, and am trying to figure out if I want to Level it, or put a small lift kit on. What are the drawbacks of either, as well as the pro's? Not really looking to go real big as I've got 2 little ones at home, nor do I need to increase tire size terribly. Maybe a bit larger but might just stick with the 275 65 18's. Any help/info would be fantastic!

If you want to even out your rig, you need a leveling kit. And most leveling kits won't not affect the factory ride quality of your truck and they can allow you put a bigger set of tires.

Sounds to me like you're in the market for a leveling kit.
