Does my 300 have enough power?

RIGHT NOW I HAVE 33 IN TIRES ON MY 95 150. I FEEL THAT IT HAS ENOUGH POWER AND TORQE. I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING 35x1250 ON IT BUT IM AFRAID THAT IT WONT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET UP TO SPEED OR HAUL A LOAD. IF ANYONE HAS ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS OR NOWS SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL LET ME KNOW.

Not with the stock gears, but if you changed your rear gears the 300 will turn the 35s just fine.

I have a friend at work who has 44's on his 89 f150 4x4. he has had no trouble with turning the tires even with the stock grear. His only complaint is that the his speedometer says 45 and he is doing 65+.
