Allow me to introduce myself and "Red"

I have been lurking on these forums for a while now and figured I would finally introduce myself. I have gained countless knowledge and spent countless hours looking at pictures of everyone's trucks, reading tutorials, and getting ideas for future restoration on my truck. Now onto my pride and joy "Red"...1995 F150 4x4 XLT 5.8, 118,800 miles, shortbox, quadshocks, stock height, sitting on 15x8 ultra wheels on 33x12.5x15 General grabber AT

You fit 33's on stock suspension?
I also have the quad shock setup, I wonder if I can squeeze 33's under mine then.
I have 31's now, did have 32's and only rubbed at full lock turning to the right.

May have to look into this.

Beautiful truck btw.

It could be the wheel offset that keeps it from rubbing on the control arms. I did have to put about a 1/2" worth of washers in the bumper braket to push the bumper forward ever so slightly, but once I did that there is no rubbing anywhere, even at full lock in either direction.

It was painted right before I bought it. I want to pull the bed off and do some rust prevention and clean the frame up as much as I can, mostly surface rust but there are a few spots that need some attention before they turn into something worse.

I have owned my truck for 20 years. for the first 19 I saw maybe 5 trucks that looked like mine. Just this year I have seen more than 10, including this one. I am not sure what it is about this year but I see my truck all over the place
