Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts.

How much tire do you want to run, and what will be the trucks purpose. I.E. you can get away with less lift if it's purely a street truck.

There are all kinds of lift kits out there for twin-I beam 2 wheel drive Fords. Some call them Pre-runners I would run a 4 in. Lift and 35 in. tires or 315-75-16 on an 8 to 10 in rim. You may need to trim the front bummper some or space it.

So basically you just want to get the nose up level and keep the stock tires?

Don't Forget. Bigger Tires on a dually = Spacers or custom wheels
