i ran 10's in oem fitment f/r. when i moved up to ~4-5" of lift, the fronts are still good to go, however the rears arent really working and need to be replaced.

I would say get 10's and if they are too long you can move the lower mounts down some. If you end up lifting more later you can swap 12's right in with the lower mounts and about 5.5"lift

i'm running 8" 5150s with JKS adapters up front, stock lower mount, and rear lower mounts raised 1"

pretty balanced up/down

no bottoming out? or did you run some fancy cans aswell? how good would polyurethane bumpstops last with that application...?

im just gonna keep it at 3in until i officially "own" the truck. so for a couple years itll be at a 3in lift. then im going to 6in lift with fox triple bypass.. :]
