i would go with at least an 8" lift but probably 10" so you still have plenty of articulation with those big tires!

That is true if you have an F150 but with an F250 you can probably get away with a 6 inch lift.

here is 6-7" ish front, and 4" rear on a '90 f250 diesel with 39.5" iroks



the front suspension is just a guess, the drop brackets we made were about 6-7" and we didnt change camber with adjustable bushings....so we got right around 6-7" of lift in the front. In the rear we took the 2" blocks out and made some 6" blocks, for a 4" lift.
heres the album with a couple more pics:
