2wd Level and New tire size?

Hello!
I have a 2004 F250 that is needing new tires on it. I was wandering if someone makes a leveling block what is pretty decent for the front. I know it's not like the 04-08 kind, you have to put it in the springs.

I don't know what would level it best.

Also I am needing to put on some new tires and rims. What tire size does everyone go with, and what size of rims? It has steel 16's on it now...

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

no idea about the suspension

as for rims/tires, I'd highly suggest you stick with a 17" rim...maybe maybe a 18" rim. 18" or larger rims run some serious $$$....and then the tires for them runs major money. I just spent $1400 on tires for the wifes 20" rims today

I wish I could go down to 16" on my '08. Smaller rim with the same overall height tire gives an allusion of a bigger tire with the more sidewall.

I Was thinking about going with a 285/70/17 tire with some 17"s.
But I don't know if I can clear them with that level or not.

2wds have coil springs up front, so you'll have to go with the hockey puck spacer level kits. You should be able to clear a 33" tall tire.
