Default Lifting my truck [Past Experience]

I want to lift my 95 f150 supercab,

My cousin gave me a suggestion to get a 2.5 inch lift on my truck and put 33s, I looked on rough country and found the lift and it says maximum tire: 32in.

Does anyone know if 33's would fit well with a 2.5" lift?

My buddy has 35's with a 4"

Dont want to put a 2.5" on and then not be able to fit 33's

If your truck is 4x4. You could fit 33s with just a leveling kit. A 2.5 is more than enough

My trucks not even leveled yet and I'm running 33 12.50 15s. I'm gonna put some moog cc844 coil springs on it as soon as oreillys gets my order in store

Here is my 89 4x4 with 33x12.50x15 on Moog 844's (~2 inch lift).

Edit- It does rub the radius arm at full turn, but that is due to lack of BS on my wheels not the lift.

We need an "2 inch level with f250 springs" sticky. Maybe when I do mine I'll do a right up.

If its a 4x4 (for the '96, anyways) it has 2" stock blocks in the rear, so adding the f250 springs (Moog 844) in the front brings it level.

Yeah I have stock blocks under 2" lift blocks. Not the most ideal thing but hasn't given me any problems yet
