Post Tires for 4inch Super Duty suspension lift

I recently brought my F250 SuperDuty with a V10 up in elevation 4 inchs using Superlift's 4 inch kit. I am now searching for a nice big tire to fill the fenders. Does anyone have any recommendations? Everyone that I have seen is using a 35x12.50 but I would like to try and fit 35x14.50 swampers in that fender. Superlift claims that a 38x13 will fit under the 4 inch lift but is unsure about the 35x14.50. Anyone have any real life experiences with this?
Thanks.

I got the 4inch procomp which I assume is pretty much the same lift. I am running 35x15.50 Swampers on it and they do not rub.Beware though I have the gas engine and with the extra weight of the PSD I'm not sure they wouldn't rub if you have the diesel. On the swampers, I would not get the ones I got.(TSL/SX) They ride rough and some times I have to hold the steering wheel with both hands to keep it from wildly shaking. Talked to a guy that put the new Swampers radial SSR's on and he said they ride and look great and with less noise. I am getting ready to sell my SX's for the SSR's. What size blocks did they put in on the rear end of truck? Too me mine sits a litter lower in the back.


Sorry after rereading your post I noticed you have a gasser also. I think the 15.50's or 14.50's will fit with no problem.4X4

Thanks for the advice. 4wheel warehouse is actually selling a package deal with the 14.50 SSR's and the ProComp lift. I would hope that they tested it. Reason for asking is that I bumped into someone at an Offroad Jambo (who actually bought this package) and he had to cut his front fenders to make these tires fit. (He had a power stroke though)

As for the rear lift, Superlift suggested a 2inch block. I opted for the 2.75 since my last truck sat a little taller in the front. Even with the 2.75 inch block though, I am sitting a little higher in the front!

Let me know if you hear any more about the SSR's. They seem like a great tire but like you said, if my steering wheel was all over the place, I don't think that I would be able to deal with them. (too much highway driving)

Thanks Again
