I don't think so. Mine had 31's on it when I got it and they filled it pretty well, 33's may fit, 35's would be really pushing it.
THIS IS on a 4x4, the 2wd sits lower.

31 10.50 15 stock:




33 12.50 15 with 2" body lift (realize the bed will squat probably another inch or two once all the weight is back on it):

I can tell you from personal experiance they will fit. I had a 1978 F-250 4x4 that had 35x14.5x16.5s Super Swampers on it. Height wise I cleared but at full lock on the steering I rubbed.
