What size lift needed for these tires?

36/14.5/16.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Belted

Want to know what I need to do to fit these on my 04 Super Duty? Also will the wheels off a 95 F250 fit my SD?

I believe the 99 body change brought with it the change to a metric lug pattern. The imperial pattern is going to be close, but I'd suspect it's not quite right.

For 36" tires, I would want more than my 4" lift. I'd venture a guess that 6" would be nice and 5" acceptable.

IF those are anything like the 31x13.5x15 baja belteds I ran on my 89 F150, they are going to rough on the road and suck in the mud. They were great in sugar sand though. Look at the tire pressures, mine would only hold 20psi and were a B load rating.

I'd go 8" with those tires if you do alot of wheeling. Right now I'm running 35/14.5/16 Nitto Mud Grappz on 10" rims and 6" of lift. I could use another 2". I can get those grappz to touch the rear part of my leafs when turning off road. Jus my .02

Those MT's Baja's don't have lugz like these grappz so it be all "G" with 6".

I'd say a 6" as well...

Those tires don't look like anything special, well I guess for what I do, and I'm not a big fan of 16.5" rims.

A guy in detroit is considering trading a 91 F250 with a 460 and them tires on it for my trans am. I was thinkin about taking the trade and throwing the wheels and tires on my SD.

Only giant problem with that truck is it got them tires on it with no lift! If they would fit on my truck with a cheap lift I'd be more apt to consider it, what yall think?
