Default Tire size with leveling kit/3 inch body lift

Hello. I recently got my first car and it is a 2004 f150 fx4 extended cab. I have installed a leveling kit and a ranch hand replacement bumper/brush guard. What is the biggest tire size i can fit with minimal rub? BTW i have the 20" ford rims, not the stock 18's.

Also, am thinking about a 3 inch body lift. How big can i go on tires after that?

Thanks for reading.

If you go with a body lift you may have to figure out how to remount the ranch hand, if I'm not mistaken they mount to the frame, and with a body lift the body would be 3" higher than the bumper, I dunno if the relocation brackets that come with the body lift kit will work or not
