I have 36's on my F350 stock, I could fit 38's in the back but not the front. So you should clear them with 9" What truck? F150/250/350 or Bronco

Only if you replaced your TTB setup with a straight axle, me personally no, i never got that far before my ol ford died, but i was headin that direction.

Its is on a 1993 f150 with(im guessing) a 4" susp. lift, 2-3" blocks, and a 2-3" body lift. It has coil spacers on front..

38's would be a little big for the axles on that. You might want to look into some stronger stuff. I usually will run a 33 on the 1/2 tons. If people what bigger tires then that, then its bigger axles. Just my personal thing. Thats why I got a 1 ton. Its all beefed to begin with.

Yea if you look in my pics you can see my old ford with the 33"s. Thats also the biggest tire id run on the TTB. If your willing to do a little fabbing, and get your hands dirty you can convert to straight axle with these 150s fairly easy, and the axle and stuff you would want isnt that pricey either. If your looking just to get this thing on the road quickly the truck as you described is around 6" up you could tuck 33"s under and have a beefy lookin rig..

35s are kinda pushing it but if you dont cowboy in it to much you should be ok. Id stay with that hieght if you dont want to go with another axle.

I am really just concerned about rubbing... But i want the 38x12.50x15s tsl.. I dont think it should rub since its not any wider, only three inches taller..

I dont think you will be able to tuck 38"s under without rub, it will probably hit either the front bumper, fender, or the traction bars.

I am running 6 and 3 body on a 93 F-150, 36 swampers were close on front fender corners and bumpers like he said. 38s might be ok if you stay on the street.

I think it will rub the traction bar if i cut it too deep but i dont plan on flexing it or anything just an occasional mud hole every now and then
