Tall Tires

I have a 83 f150 4wd And was wondering what is the tallest tire I can fit under it with coil spacers 1.5 to 2.0 inches

I would say 33 is the tallest a non lifted truck ususally handles. I've found with coil spacers they don't usually give that much lift even though they are advertised as such. It simply compresses the spring more in the part that is not spaced. If you want that kind of lift just consider some high lift springs designed for the job. Or do what I am planning on doing. Flip your i beams over, use camber adjusment brackets. Then put on whatever size tire you desire!

I don't have any experience with spacer lifts, however "leveling coils" would probably be your best bet. I would say 32s would fit the best but you can squeeze 33s with some fender trimming.
