I have a 1982 F-150 4x2 and run 29" with no problem, I would think 32" without not actually knowing. I personally would not consider a body lift, fender cutting is an option, then there is springs, blocks and shackels are said by the experts to be problematic. I had this same delima too with a vehicle that had no suspension aviable and I was going to have to modify suspension off a 1 ton truck to fit and possibly rearch them or other complex spring mods....I did not do it. If there was good springs aviable for the vehcle I was using I would run them! I would either run whatever fits or get larger springs and mabe trim the fenders. Sorry to dissapoiont you if I did. But do what you think works as this is just me.

33's will fit in the rear no problem, as for the ffront just get a set of progressive rate leveling coils and some longer shocks and the 33's WILL fit no problem, the only only thing i would consider getting would be a set of front wheels with less backspacing (ie 3.5"would work with a 33x12.5, and 4"should work with a 33x10.5) to avoid rubbing the radius arms when turning.
I know you can fit 35x12.5 rubber on the 3/4's and heavier no problem (as long as you have the proper backspacing so they don't rub the leaf springs) if you don't believe i'll post up picturesof it.
