MN99F150, Boy, it would be a tight fit. It would probably rub quite abit. I would think about possibly intalling a body lift. 33" tires fit and even those rub sometimes. The 11.5 would fit on those rims which are about 7" wide and keep them under the fenders.

I was happy with the body lift kit from Performance Accesories. It cost about $120 and has everything you need. You can get them in 2 or 3 inch lifts.

One inch won't make that much difference. I'd probably go with the 3". Are you going to do this yourself?
