just crank your tbars a little bit. You really should have a problem clearing 33s on 4wd truck. There was a guy on here running 35s with his t-bars cranked and thats it.

you wont need anything, i just put 33s on my 99 f150 4x4 last month and everything clears fine, only thing i had to do was trim a little plastic off the front bumpers.

Default torsion bars cranked with an add a leaf

here is my 97 f150 with the torsion bars cranked and a add a leaf. I'm running some 255/70/16 now, but I am going to get me some 285/75/16 goodyear A/T or Duratrac's. I'm sure I won't have a problem with rubbing though.

OH, and by the way if I was you I would go with the add a leaf instead of blocks. Just my personal opinion. Here's a few updated photos
