Tire Size question

I just picked up a 1973 Ford F250 Highboy and was wondering what the largest size tires are that I can put on my truck without adding a lift.




Thanks.

You should be able to fit a 35x12.5 with no problems, that is what I have on mine. You could probably go a little taller, maybe even up do a 37 depending on how worn the springs are. Here's what mine with 35s looks like, though I have longer shackles in the front to level it out a little.
