3'' Body lift question

If I put on a 3'' body lift on my 97 F150 4x4 what the biggest size tire I can run? Any help would be most appreciated.

With or without a lot of rubbing? J/K If you crank the t-bars you should be able to run 35's.

Thank you! So you're tires are about a 35x12.50 right? I'll definitley check out the pics, do you tires stick out from the fender? Thanks again.

Hey Don, I saw the pics and I saw the fender shot, I think I'll be doing a similar setup on my truck.

Yeah, you can fit 35x12.50's on 10 inch wide wheels with 4.5 inches of backspacing. You will have to trim the front bumper's lower plastic valance.
