lift needed???
I have a '78 f-150 4x4. I am getting 15"x8" Mickey Thompson wheels and 33"x12.5" BF Goodrich mud terrain tires. I don't know how much room, if any, I will have in the fenders after adding the big tires. I think that truck came with a 3 inch lift. Do you think I'll have enough room? Thanks.

i have a 79 f-150 and it looks really good iwth a 3 in. body lift which is the way to go for a little cheap lift around 100 bucks and isnt too hard and i got 33 *12.50's on it it looks just right witht the fenders and everything

I have a 78 F150 with a 3" susp. lift on top of the factory lift. I have 33x12.5x15's on it and have no problems. (I did just buy a Performance Products 3" body lift on ebay for $70 cuz I want bigger tires.)

3 inches is just right. It will look good too. Your rims are fine. You never want to put the same width rim as the width of the tire tread.
