Leveling Kit for 2wd F150

i plan on puting a 2.5" front leveling kit on my 2wd F150. will this clear a 33" tire? if so, what kind of leveling kit do you recommend? will i need to lift the back also?

If it's an 04-08, you can fit 33's if you use the right wheel. If you use your OEM wheels or an 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 incches of backspacing you can fit up to a 33x12.50. You won't have to lift your rear, but you may want to. Strictly a personal choice.
I'd recommend the Autospring kit. It's a quality kit and it's inexpensive.

Depends on the particular truck. Just measure your truck.

The 2.5" will most likely make the front sit a bit higher. Even if you're dead level with the 2.5" spacer, if you put so much as a sack of feathers in the bed of your truck you'll be sitting with your front end up higher.

I installed the 2" AS and couldn't be happier. If you do the 2.5" spacer, I'd definitely put an AAL in the back.
