Firstly, I gotta check out this F140 lol.

Anyway, I don't know specifics for the newer trucks but a 4x4 always fits a bigger tire than a 2wd simply because the trucks are built with more room. So with that said i'm sure 33's will fit on them with a leveling kit. However with 2wd I would be nervous about it.

33s should fit no problem. I have a 2" lvl kit on mine and have 275x65x18s. I had those on the truck before the lvling kit. When I wear them out I'll be putting on 33s.
