Default Shooting for 32's

I've got a 1991 F150 Supercab Custom 2wd that has just never looked right. I think it would look horrible lowered with the Supercab, but at the same time for a long time never wanted to lift it because it's a 2wd. My thoughts on that have changed. I want to be able to fit 32's, possibly 33's. Although the truck does see off-road (not much but some), I'll admit this will mostly be for the look. But hey, it's my money, my truck, and my time so who cares right? So this is the main question, what would be the best option to fit 32's or possibly 33's? What kind of kit would you recommend? And how big of a kit would I need?

On a 4x4 you can fit 33's with a 3 inch body lift so on a 2wd I would say a leveling kit and a body lift you could fit 33's or you could just go with a full 4 inch suspension lift. I would recoment rough country for the suspention parts

You shouldn't have a problem with rubbing. If anything all you would need is a leveling kit.

Thanks a ton for the info and advice guys. I'm liking the idea of a 4" Rough Country Suspension Lift, and it's actually quite a bit cheaper than I thought it'd be for some reason. Hopefully either this paycheck or next paycheck I'll grab one. It's a toss up between this kit or Drag Radials for the Mustang so I'll have to see which one I'm feeling more on payday.

You should be able to put 32s under a stock height 2wd just barely. Just put a 1.5+ inch leveling kit and it'll fit fine. Other thing to watch out for is rubbing. 32x11.50s should rub before full lock on stock wheels

Aren't the stock tires for the lightnings 265 70R17's, if so they are about 32 inches in height.
