No doubt 33,s will fit and maybe 35,s....just depending on what wheel you go with. You have a broad range for combos

Just remember, if you go to 35s it is gonna kill your power. I recently put 305/65r18 BFG on my truck and although they look fantastic and ride good and everything; they hurt my power pretty good. Wouldn't be such a big deal if I didn't have to tow regularly. I wish I would have saved that $1500.

a good 35" tire choice to help with power loss is 285-75-18. I run a 305-55-20 (33x12.5x20) on my 09 f150 and lost more mileage than my dad with his 05 and the 285-75-18 (35x11x18)

Did you put reindexed torsion keys in?

thats they only way you got 3" of lift in the front and i can promise you that you will be wearin though front end parts right and left.

But anyways about your question. 35's will fit on stock wheels and trimming, its gonna be extremely close with any aftermarket wheel thats wider than 8"
