Default Tires?

I have a 2005 f150 lariat 2wd. I want to get a 5in body lift and was wondering what the maximum size tires I could put on it would be. I am hoping to get the nitto trail grapplers? Any suggestions would help!

35"s are about the max. Might get some minor rubbing depending on wheel offset.

35s fit easy under a 6" lift. I'm squeezing 37s under my 6". I had to notch the front fender well liners and the splash guard.

How are you planning on getting the 5" of body lift?

Why not do the 2" leveling kit and the 3" body lift?

X2 doing a 5" body sounds a little iffy.

I would like to see where you can even buy a 5" body lift so I can tell anyone who's safety I care about to never do business with them.

If they exist, got to be some homemade risky stuff. Don't think any known company would attach their name to that.
