Default how to fit 33s, and what gas mileage will i get with them?

whats the easiest and cheapest way to fit 33 inch tires, if i even need anything... also i heard you cant fit 15 inch rims on an 02 f150 4x4 because of the brake calibers? what average MPG will i get with 33 inch tires?

Crank the t bars to level it out and 33s should fit fine maybe a little trimming but you should be okay.15 inch rims will not fit though because of the brake calipers like you mentioned before!

On your 02 the smallest would be a 16 I believe and I personally am only running 265s so I can't give you accurate mpgs with the 33s so someone else will have to chime in on that!

Can't help ya too much there since I have a little bit older truck. But I believe its advised against to put anything more than 2 inches of level up front due to the damage it will cause on ball joints etc. I would guess 33s would be about max but I'm sure people have run at least 35s on their 2wds no problem.

that's real good, I was going to get a ranger but I heard once you put mud tires on them they only get 16 so iits worth it to just get an f150! another one that is
