Based on the pics you posted you have a 4x2 with the std 18 Lariat alum wheels. If you up-size the wheel diameter you can put up to the Harley package 22" P275/45R22's I personally like the 18's (better ride) If I had a 4x2 I would go up to 275/65R18 to be safe. Maybe a next size up (285/60R18) but you might some contacts. Style over function? You make the call.

Since he mentioned height and not using a lift, he may mean an offroad styled tire. You can fit a 285/65-18 (33x11.50) using your OEM wheels at stock ride height.

yes,thats what I meant without a bodylift or leveling kit,the largest tire, so I can fill out the wheel well of the my truck.
I didn't think I would be able to put 33's on.
What if I did decide to go with a 2' leveling kit,what would I be able to fit then.I also like that option about the Harley package, putting P275/45R22's.
I just don't want to change the ride to much since most of my driving is 80% highway.So thanks for the help.
JOE

I have a AS2.5" front lift and switched to a 3" block in the rear and it rides and handles exactly the same. This would give you clearance for 33 easily.
This is in a 2010 FX4
