Biggest tires?

Hey guys, just wondering.. what are the biggest tires I can fit on a stock height 87 F150 4x4? I know you can do 33's on a Bronco with a little sawzalling, I'm not sure if the F150 would be the same or not.

On a stock 87 150!? Were you planning on cutting out the body mounts too? A sawzall will only take you so far.

You should be fine with 33s. If you have to trim it won't be major surgery.

on an '87 you;ll probably have to trim the rear lip of the front bumper to do 33's, i know you have to to do 35's.

I tried this, it is quite easy. It makes the steering a LOT easier......almost like I have hydro.
