SDs do not use torsion bars. If you want a little lift you can get springs with more arch or add a leveling kit. I very highly doubt a set of 15" wheels will even clear the calipers even if you could find a set of 15" wheel with the correct bolt pattern, which I doubt.

You have much to learn about your truck.

No 15" wheels will fit on a Super Duty.

There are no torsion bars on any Super Dutys, 2 or 4 wheel drive.

Stick around, keep reading the posts in both the Super Duty and V10 forums and you will learn more about you truck than you ever wanted to know.

Dang, DKF beat me to an answer while I was typing so slow.

You can put a leveling kit, an extra leaf, on the front of your truck. Likely stiffen the ride and raise it an inch or two. I don't know if the tires would then fit (however, a 15" wheel will not, therefore your tire will have to be the equivalent of a 35x12.5x16+).

That'd be the 315/75-16, Bob.

I have 35/12.5/17 on my 2003 F350 with a 2.5 lift in the front. It took minor shaving on the bottom plastic part of the bumper. I have the factory 3inch blocks in the back, so the truck is now leveled.

I'm sure it's been stated over and over but 16 inch and up for rims, and for 12.5 bare minimal is 9 inches wide.

level lift and those 35's should fit with little rubbing at full turn.
