Hahaha, I carry a folding plastic step for the mother in law. Trying to find info in here on tires/lifts is like finding ice cream in the middle of the Sahara.

'03 leaf sprung 4x4 clears 31s stock, 33s with a 2" mini-pack, 35s with a 4" lift, and 37s with a 6"+ lift.

Any more questions boss?

But seriously, if you search here I promise every single inch of lift has been covered with an in-depth discussion of what tires do and don't fit. Just gotta search it up. Use google's "site:ford-trucks.com" function and you'll find them all.

FYI 315 is width, give us the aspect ratio and we'll convert it to standard/ overall height and give you an answer

My bet is 315mm tires won't fit on a stock 16x7 wheel, so it's a combination lift/wheel/tire size question that we'll gladly discuss until it's dead, buried, and resurrected.

That's what I'm talking about texastech_diesel, meat and potatoes

We've decided on some new rubber and suspension. Normally we pick between the Firestone Destination in either A/T or M/T for our various off road vehicles as they have been very good to us.

This time around we are going with Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx in 285/75/16. The reason being is that the Destination A/T is a little "soft" for the off road component the F-250 will see and the Destination in M/T wears a little too much on highway miles. We hope the Coopers deliver good highway manners and hold a beating off road.

The suspension will be the OME 2.25" kit. Softer leaves in the front (CS015F) to cushion the spine. Debating wether to get the extra D27XL leaves for the occasional heavy load.

Fun stuff, I like new projects

My 04 clears 33's with no lift. Nitto trail grapplers 295/70/17. Aftermarket wheels, but that doesn't change the lift.
