Check your local suspension shop. They do this kind of thing on daily basis. Ford doesn't even have the software that would calibrate the speedo for that size tires.

Find a dealership that will reprogram the ABS module for the larger tires. Tell them to use 601 for the value in the programmer. Ford CAN reprogram that truck.

You might want to consider a SuperLift – Tru Speed unit. I've had one installed for a while now with no problems at all. They are adjustable and have 2 memory settings (a switch) for if or when you change tires. They are reasonably easy to install.
