Lifting my 93 f350

I want to lift my 1993 f350. Right now it's completely stock hight and stock tire size. I don't want to do anything to high. If I do 2 or 3 inch will it fit 35 inch tires and not rub when I turn?

My 90 C(F)-350 4x4 is stock on 35" tires. The only rubbing is periodically against the running board (which will be trimmed a half-inch on the rear ends).Other than that, the truck is bone stock.


See truck details in sig below.

Truck looks sharp. My truck seems to sit kind of low. a friend had a 95 f350 4x4 and he kept stock size tires and according to my memory it sat higher than mine. I feel like 33s are my max. My last truck was a 92 f150 4x4 all stock sitting on 31s. And when I sit in the cab of my 350 now it seems like I'm at the same hight almost.

The black one in front was my 150. Only mod to the suspension was I added 2 rear leafs on each side. Other than that it was stock on 31s. My truck now is that orange f350 completely stock even tire size.

But do you think the 35s will fill the wheel wells too much with out lifting the whole truck and look not that good?

I looked a rsk front lift and I think it's pricey considering that of if I got a regular lift for the whole truck from rough country it's only 250 more and it's the kit with all new leaf springs that are lift Springs so I wouldn't have blocks or anything.the kit was 600. But it's a 4 inch. I don't kno if I want that high. My buddy had the same truck with that 4 inch and he has 37s and it looks good but any smaller tire and it'd look dumb and I don't really want anything bigger than 35s and I don't want a truck that's real high.

My stock height '93 F-250 with 35's. It was a little low in the front IMO but I think F-350's sit a little higher in the front.

Sits pretty nice. You ever get rubbing? And I think I'd like my truck to sit just a inch or 2 higher. I can't seem to find 2 inch lift kits tho. All I find is 4 and 6 and my buddy has a 4 inch and it looks good but impractical for loading things in the bed and he has 37s. If he had 35s the tires would look oddly small and awkward.
