30-31" tire will be fine. For a leveling kit you're going to need to do some reading. There's a variety of stock springs that will lift your truck 0"-1" and spacers of various sizes are availible as well. If you're just doing a level it'll cost ~$50 for parts.

I went with the cheaper 2" ebay leveling spacers on my xl f150. You will need +/- 3* camber bushings and an alignment as well. So far so good. I haven't notice any extra noises since the install.

I like the Superlift 117 springs. I've had them on 3 different trucks.

Why would I need camber bushings? What would they do?

You'll learn more and it'll be easier in the long run if you search before you ask. That topic is horse burgers at this point.
