Level with tires question

I have an 09 XLT and just picked up some Fx4 18 inch rims. About to buy the Cooper LTZ Zeon Tires that are 285/60/18 (seemed the most economical size but still aggressive.) Will a 2.5 inch level make it sit perfectly level with no rubbing and not nose high?

i think most are siting closer to level with a 2 inch autospring.....are you a supercab or supercrew.?
Im not sure about aggressive......but if you are going to do a leveling kit you may want to go a little bit bigger. Thats a little smaller then they come from the factory on the fx4's
you will at least want to do a 33" tire or i wouldnt bother with the level.
The tire you posted is only a 31.5"tire....they come with 32 inch from the factory.

If you have a 4wd, those tires will be way too small. I have them on my 2wd with 2" level kit and they look too small. I want my 285/65/18's back.

have 2" as on my 08 lariat and sits perfectly level. When first installed was about 3/4 " high in front but after driving about 50 miles it settled and was dead on after alignment. Have bfg at 275/70 18 (33" tall)

I think most of the 09s and up sit level with a 2" leveling kit, and as stated above, those tires will probably look too small with a leveling kit. I would atleast go with a 285/65, but you could even fit a 285/70 with a leveling kit.
