i own a 95 f-250 it has a dana 60 front end(thanks superdave) leaf sprung suspension came factory with 33" tires will 35" tires fit without a lift? i want to buy micky thompson claws.
A '95 F250 4x4 doesn't come stock with a Dana 60 front axle or 33" tires. The F350's come stock with Dana 60's. The F250's come stock with a Dana 50 Twin Traction Beam (independent swing axle). If you have a Dana 60 straight axle in your truck, someone converted it. Both the F350 and most F250's have front leaf springs (some F250's had a combination coil spring and semi-eliptical leaf spring). The factory stock tire size is 235/85-16 and the optional size is 265/75-16, which is the same diameter, just wider.
On an F350 4x4, you can fit up to 35" tires with out a lift, but you need to shim the front bumper forward. If you do some offroading that requires a fair amount of suspension flex, stick with 33" tires. 33" tires on my F350 also required shimming the front bumper forward to avoid rubbing at full turn while hitting a bump. F350's sit a little higher front and rear than F250's but you should still be able to fit a 33" tire on a stock F250 as long as you don't flex out the front suspension alot.
If your truck has been converted to a Dana 60 straight axle, there is no telling without seeing the truck about what size tire you could put on it as there may have been a lift done at the same time.

Depending on the amount of off-roading you do, 35's will fit, but be close. I mounted the 35s on my F250 before I lifted it, and they cleared well enuff for the street, but I wouldnt have wanted to use it off road much
