First off welcome to FTE! to upload pics upload them on photobucket then copy their image file text and paste it into your reply box. I would measure from the ground to the top of the fender arch and then we can probably tell how much lift you have. Personally crew cabs look good with a 4" lift and 35" tires ACF6 has a very nice set up i would check his out..he may even reply to this thread lol. Check out the ultimate super duty thread for more ideas as well. If your looking for largest tire on stock height, on the 05-07 trucks you can fit 35's on stock rims with just a front leveling kit or maybe stock if you have a plow prep package. they look somewhat stuffed in the fenders though so lift may be a better choice.

I replaced my 265/70R17E tires with 285/70R17E tires. which are about 1 inch taller. Visually, it fills out he wheel wells a little better, but there is still a lot of space around the tires.
On the down side, expect a drop in fuel mileage when you go to a larger tire.

The common consensus has always been that 4" is about the highest you want to lift it and 35" tires are about the biggest tire you'll want to run if you're still going to use the truck to haul a fifth wheel or turnover ball or are going to still use the bed for truck stuff. After that it becomes too tall for a trailer tow or getting in and out of the bed.
