If you don't go off flat road that includes pulling into parking lots . You can fit 33" .

Well you can fit em but 1 wrong twist while turning and you might do some damage . I have ran them with Rancos 3" lift just fine and on stock truck . I cut bumper/fender for clearance. Stick with 32' tires or waitfor $ to lift. Good luck

I have rann 31's and P265/75's on a 88 F150 2wd with no problems.Right now I have a 3" difference between front and rear.......front being lower by 3" when measured from top of tire to the wheel well moulding. Someone suggested that I needed to replace the factory springs with factory springs to bring the difference to within 1" because they where "sagging". I am not sure that my front actually sag's ......the other trucks around town seem to have the same stance ....allthough they seem to be running the P235's ? I want to change out the front coils when I do the radius bushings in the near future...but can't decide on aftermarket 2" over coils or a set of CC822 or CC824 standard Moog/TRW coils ?
