What tires do I need?

I have a 2010 Ford F150 XLT. It's only front wheel drive so it's 73.4 inches tall. I want it to look like a 4x4 though so I want it to be 76.2 inches tall. I have stock sized tires and rims. What tires would I need to add this extra height onto my truck without a lift? (If it's possible) Thanks!

Had to throw that in there, but if you want a 4wd ride height, get a set of 2-3" rear blocks, 2-2.5" leveling kit and throw on a set of 33" tires. If you tried to stuff tires big enough under there to achieve 4wd ride height your are probably going to have clearance issues. I do not know what size diameter rims you have so I can not give you an exact tire size. Also Bigscrew is correct, there are NO fwd f150's.

Alright I was under the impression that if it wasn't 4wd then it was fwd. So there is no way that I could just get that extra height without lifting it?

You could get slightly bigger tires than stock without a level, but the leveling kits they are referring to are pretty inexpensive and would give u the look you are after. Less than a hundred bucks. Then u could fit 33s as was stated earlier and u would ride at least as high as a 4x4.

I'd suggest spending some time on this site reading post relating to the mods you want. Not to sound mean but if you thought your F-150 was front wheel drive there is a ton of stuff you could learn by reading.
Also, welcome to the site!
