Post Fx2 tires

I have a 2007 F150 FX2. Has anyone ever tried putting bigger tires then the stock ones without lifting it? Do any changes need to be made to avoid problems without lifting it or does it need to be lifted to not damage it?

If you leveled it,you could get away with 33's.Now do you want to put like a 6inch lift on it?

Ok so were not wrong.I was doing some online looking around and never found anything to indicate that the FX2's came with a 4.6.

So i second the thot of needing proof.
