It will clear 35's with no lift and some light trimming and 37's with a moderate amount of trimming.

On my old Superduty I ran 315/75R16's BFG most of the time and 37x12.5x16.5 surplus Humvee Goodyear MT's around the ranch. The truck had no lift. I considered a 4" lift and 40's, before I sold the truck.

I was looking at some of the Humvee tires, but couldnt find any 16.5 rims...What kind of lift would you recommend? I heard a lot about the ICON lift and Rize.

Well the answers depend on further questions:

What's your budget?
How high do you want to go?
Why?
What are your goals (DD, truggy crawling, etc)?

Like the man said, you can run 35's with just a little bit of light trimming of the bottom of the plastic wheel well liner at the back (cab side) of the front wheel wells, no trimming needed in the rear. I run 34" Terra Grapplers with not even a single rub. The great part about that is that I have great clearance of actual axles/diffs/belly without being too tall (well too tall to fit in Jody's work's parking garage) and without having to touch the great riding stock suspension. I can go over any curb, cinder block, etc, that I've come across, without having to worry about dragging.

1. Probably around $1000
2. Enough to give it a more aggressive look (IE...dont want a stock height with 35's stuffed under it lol)
3. Read 2
4. Don't plan to offroad it really all that much due to the fact that its ~22 feet long lol

Thats signature worthy right there!!!! but so true, I work with a guy that had an F350 Crewcab long bed with huge lift, I mean like 10"+....it was kind of worthless but it sure looked good!!!

I had one of those in high school. (99 model) had a Rancho 6" lift and 35 12.5-16s on it. It looked good and sounded good, went down every oilfield lease road with 1 ft deep ruts I had without getting stuck, or ever rubbing, but it took two acres to turn it around... But I did love that truck...

I ran my 96 model with a 6in lift but I only ran 33in BFG M/Ts.

Whatever you decide....just post pics. As we all know....pics or it didnt happen!!!!!!
