On my 90 I have 33x12.50s and they fit nice. They don't rub except at full lock on the radius arms off road. And with your 3.73s you'll have no problem turning them eith the 300. I still have 3.08s and its hard to get going.

33" gives that great stuffed look and requires no lift. However you will have to space out your front bumper a tad with some washers.

Or trim it. Either way works. But they will rub the radius arms at full steering lock.

from everything i hear, 33s will fit with little rubbing. i just got all new tires on my truck...i told the guy i wanted bigger than 31s and he looked at the truck and told me he wouldnt advise any bigger tires. so ive still got the same old 31s. although, if you buy an agressive tire, they obviously look bigger. my tires even make my truck sit a little taller.

4x4 F250's are leaf sprung.

2005 would be when the 4x4s switched, not quite the same animal as the pre 97's.
