It will look a lot better than a stock truck. There is a 99-03 F-150 4x4 running around my town with a 6 inch Fabtech lift and the stock 17's and 32 inch tires.

IMO they would look too small, why not just go with 35s??? to me even 35s can look too small on 6" of lift my friend has 4" w/ 35s, and that looks about right, im thinkin if you get a lvling kit, (which will gain u about 2.5" correct me if im wrong) i would go w/ 37s personally.

I don't think it would look too bad, but I think after you see it you'll wish you would have went with 35's. I have a 6" lift and 35's on my truck and think it looks great, think the 33's would have looked small.

If you cant afford 35's just wait alittle longer and save. My lift wasn't really planned and I had just gotten new 33's a few months before so I'm gonna probably wait till these wear down. I dont think it looks bad and hell when your offroading it doesnt even matter.

if you're a 2x4 the 33's will not look too small (stupid). i have a 6" suspension and a 3" BL on 35's and they look alright, but iam still going to step it up to a 37" when these tires wear out. you will be straight with 33's. BTW, BJ Penn all the way baby.

trucks had brand new 33's on it when i bought it. don't like the "lift" thats on it bc it rides chitty. would like it to be taller, but don't want to loose my towing capabilities or have to regear right now. I'll be towing a jeep on rockwells (about 5000lbs +trailer.)

When towing something like that I would think more of brakes than anything else. I just towed my horse-trailer 4klb. plus horse with 35's a 4.6 and no aftermarket gearing...and had no problems! I also have a brake controller so there was no extra strain on my truck. If your trailer has brakes then go for 35's if you can afford it (I personally love a filled wheel-well) but if you can stand lookin' at a lot of frame in the back and a lot of plastic upfront then go for it buddy! Its all a matter of oppinion. I would upgrade the brakes if you are going bigger!
