I have a set of Hedman fender well exits on my 70 F150 with what i figure a 3 1/2 inch lift and 35 inch boggers and have no issues with them. if u still have the plastic inner fender well it will either have to be cut or removed. I also had to bend the metal fender well a little. Dont know if this is the same with L&L tho.

I've got the L&L's on the truck in my signature, no rubbing. It has 33 x 12.50 tires.
And on a side note my dad has a pretty similar truck to yours. 1979 F-250 full time 429. He installed the 429 in the mid 80s.

Turn the steering stops on the axle out if they hit.
