Smile Which tires can I fit??

I'm hoping soon I can add 6" to my 01 F-150 and have a total of 9". What size tires can I fit? I'm seriously considering the 38/15.50/16 or the 38/15.50/16.5 Parnelli Dirt Grips. Will these fit w/ 9"'s of lift? Also, since my truck came with the larger lower valence for the foglights, would I be better off changing to the 97-99 chrome bumper with the foglight openings? Wouldn't the 97-99 bumper give me better clearance? I'm open to anyones suggestions! Any help ya'll can give me will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Tommy

So, your saying that you already have a 3in body lift???? With a 6in suspension and a 3in body you should be able to run the tires you are wanting. I havent done much comparing on the front valence on the new ones. But, if they are bigger than yea, i am guessing an older style bumper probably will give you more clearance. You dont mention if your truck is 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive. If it is 2 wheel drive than i dont think you will be able to fit those size tires. It seems that lifts for 4wheel drive end up being higher than the ones for 2 wheel drives.
