With the 4.6L you will lose alot of grunt if you go over a 32-33" tire without new gears... with a 2" lift you could fit a 35" tire with a little valance trimming I believe. Aftermarket wheels with more back-spacing would be a good idea as well. If I were you I would go with a lower rear gear if you increase the tire much over stock, even @ 33".
