tire size
I am looking for other 1997 f150 4x4 owners with the 17 in rims. I just purchased new tires and want to see if there is any mods I will have to do. My new tires are LT285/70r17's. supposedly they are around the same as 33's. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well, i only have the 16" rims, but I think I can help. I've got the 285/75r16's on my truck, which work out to be 33" tall, and they fit fine...no rubbing at all....As long as yours aren't much wider, you'll be fine.

I have a 99 F150 4x4 with the 17 inch rims- I went to Sears to find out what the largest tire size i could get with the stock suspension was- the guy told me 99's don't come with 17's- Are the 17's really rare on these trucks, not many others seem to have them? And I still don't know how big I can go!

right on paul, i have 17s as well, and they arent rare!!! and yes the 285 will fit...no rubbing unless you just go crazy off road and then they might rub over a bump every now and then...but no biggy!!!
