33 inchers?

95 150 with a 3 inch body lift. I'm running 33x12.5's. Had to trim the front bumper bottom egdes just a tad but no rub anywhere else. Our bodies are very similar so I'd take a stab to say it should work. But if you have wheels with improper back spacing it can cause tires to rub.

It would only rub on the radius arm at full turn which isn't that bad. Just don't turn the wheel all the way. Other then that it'll fit.

Yes they will fit. They will rub the radius arms while turning. Custom radius arms aren't very expensive. I was quoted 75 a piece. Can't decide wether or not to order them.

I've got 33x12.50 Dunlop Mud Rovers with leveling springs on my '93 f-150. They don't rub anywhere, even at full turn. Just my experience.

I have skyjacker radius arms with the bend to help prevent the rub. I have 15 by 10" wheels with 35/12.5" tires and 3.62" backspacing, rubs but not too bad.

im running 33x10.50 swampers whith stock back spacing and i just catch my radius arms at full lock whith the longer lugs. If you get another couple of inches of back spacing you will be fine.
