Two trucks needing future tire upgrades

Hey guys,

I got a 1975 F250 Highboy with a 390 and a Ford F150 4x4 with a 400.
I am currently restoring the highboy and was wondering if i could fit 35x12.5 mud terrains without lift?

My next question is I want to run 33x12.5 wild country tires RVT-Trac(i think thats what they are) on my F150, I currently am running 31x10.50s. A friend has 33x12.5 on his 1978 f150 with a 2.5 ( i think) inch lift and they look great. I also have 2 other friends running 33.12.5's bfgs on their ('78 and 85) broncos at stock height and they say they do not have rubbing issues. So whats the deal? Can i run them stock height (new shocks will be added, needs replaced badly) or do i need to find some kind of a leveling kit because i'm pretty sure they would fit in the back but the front sags. Need help

Thanks for any help,

Rooney

35s will fit on the highboy no problem. 33s should fint on the 150 with maybe no lift but you could get coil spacers and it would make it easier.
