i have a 1998 ford f150 and i was wondering if i could fit 33x12.50 tires on it without a lift. just maybe some minor fender cutting and some offset rims?

should be able to, you'll probably have to trim and crank TB's. If you have a 2wd it will probably need a leveling kit

how are the truxx 3 inch lift for my truck? i was thinking one of those in the front and an add a leaf in the rear with 33x12.50. would cranking up the TBs with the truxx lift be bad for suspension travel and CV joints?

I would stay away from the aftermarket torsion bar adjustment keys. They allow you to way too much preload on your torsion bars. This will destroy your ride quality and cause premature wear of your CV and ball joints.
