I know level kits and tires have been beat to death on this site but I have spent the last 2 days searching the forum for answer that pertain to my truck specs. I have a 2006 Ford F250 Lariat FX4 with 6.0L and short bed. I have 20" wheels on stock 275/65/20. (34"H x 11"W)

I would like to add some height to my tires to fill the wells and a little width as well. I think I have determined that the tires I will be going to are BFG AT KO 285/65/20 which is 34.7"H x 11.5"W. There are a 126L rated tire so I think I am good. I want to put a leveling kit on like I did my last truck which was a F150. There are a lot of options but I am inbetween Tuff Country 2.5" with shocks or the rough country 2" spacer blocks. The Rough Country scares me a little because it is so simple.

I know the weight of my front end would probably be better with the 2.5" but want to get first hand info from people with similar setups. I am also open to suggestion on tires and kits. The BFGs are expensive but i have had them on my last 2 trucks and they wore great and handled even better. I think I am giong to put the leveling kit on first and then determine tires because I could stay stock and put a more aggressive tire on but I think I wuold regret that in a month. Thanks for any help and sorry for the long post but I have been all over doing research and there is nothing better than first hand experience.
