Bigger Tires

Hey everybody i am new to the forum and i am sure this question has been asked many times but i was wondering what is the biggest tire i can run on my 07 f250 without doing any mods. i would like to run a 325/60R20. The catalog says that they are 35.6in tall and 13in wide. if a leveling kit is needed thats not that big a deal i would just need some advice on that as well because i do plow with my truck so i would need a kit that has plow springs. i hope everybody can help thanks.

I run a 33 inch tire on a dually with a simple superlift leveling spring up front. No clearance issues at all. Since I have a dually my tires are not near 13" wide.

Probably won't fit without a leveling kit. You could get 1" spacers and swap in 7000# front coils, that'll add a little height while killing some of the squat from the plow. But it's going to be a trade off, unless you want 4" lift springs that are squashed by the plow's weight you're going to have to go with stiffer springs and the unloaded ride will suffer.

Same questions with pictures in the answer:

What about installing the firestone front airbags to support the plow. This way you don't have to suffer a stiffer ride all summer.

I have done air bags before in my other truck and wasn't to happy. I might just try the spacers like the other guy mentioned. The springs I have now do a great job bc I have the plow package. The spacers are cheap I'll try that and see how I like it and go from their

The height is fine, its the width that will make you lift it. If you go to 35x12 they should fit nicely. Don't forget proper back spacing if you get new wheels.
