hondamx320,
on my stock '95 f-150 4x4 i have 31x10.5 tires. they are pretty agressive and dont come close to rubbing. I think with the lift you have you can clear 33s but dont quote me on that.

I have a stock 2003 Ranger Edge 2wd and I have 31x10.5 BFGoodrich mud trerrains, and they don't rub. Even with the bed loaded down the rear ones don't rub. I was told I could go bigger if I put a body or suspension lift on mine, so you shouldn't have any problem putting 33x12.5 on a F-150 especially if it's 4x4.

or you could use a 265 or 285 tire that is taller than a
31" tire.

Your year f150 with 4x4 you can stuff 33s in the back and 31's in the front at STOCK height. With that 3" body lift and level kit you should EASILY fit 33x12.5's. Probably could go bigger...

33's with no problem. A 285/70 series tire should work and not rub anything.

I have 3" of lift and I clear 33x10.5's without a problem. The only rubbing is when I turn really sharp, then it rubs on the radius arms. I run the 33's on stock rims. I suppose with a different offset rim you could keep the tires from rubbing.

i have a 93 F150 2wd with stock suspension no body lift on 32" uniroyal mud tires with penty clearence on the back tires the only problem i faced is the front bumper it rubbed when i turned the tires expecially when i was in reverse i spaced the bumper out an inch and it clears .. the bumper looks great nobody notices it is even spaced .. if u have a 2wd dont listen to the 4x4 people untill they have to pull u out!
