tire help

Hey guys newbie here.

I recently bought a 1992 f-150 flareside 4x4 with the 5.0. its a beauty

I was wondering if i put a 2' leveling kit on the front if 33/12.5 would fit with no rubbing??

also, anybody know where i can find a reliable shift kit for the 4 speed auto?

thanks

You would be better off trying a 32x11.50. A 33 would fit but would be a real tight fit and might rub if you get offroad any.

You can run a 33 with the 2.5 but like above it may rub some.
