Talking Largest tires on a 95 5.0/302/4x4/shortbed F150? (and cost of suspension work)

Single cab, etc.

What's the largest tires you can fit in the wheel well? I've done some modding on Mustangs, and am used to fitting drag radials in them, so just curious what's the largest tire I can get without doing excessive amounts of suspension work?

This is the tire size I'd like to get, as it's not too huge and not too small. The truck has never been wrecked, and is pretty good condition, so I don't want to rag it out or anything.

Edit:
Doing some research, and if I need to do some suspension work to get these tires to fit, about how much would that cost do you think, paying a reputable mechanic to do the job? I'm willing to save up the cash and spend it if needed.

Looking at that picture, those tires don't fit that truck. There's hardly any clearance between the front fender and the back of the tire. flex the front suspension any and you'll get body damage.

600 for a 6 inch lift if you do it yourself and a grand for 35's and another 50-100 to get your front end lined up correctly and whatever wheels you want on top of that.
