okay. Yeah i am almost certain you can run the 295/70/18 with your setup and not have problems. I saw a guy that has 35x12.5x18 on a 2.5" level and he said they fit.

I can probably take some basic measurements to make sure, they are basically 1" larger so If I measure my full locks now and have anything over .5" they should be good if im thinking right

Yep, the 295/70/18 will be .5in taller on each side of the tire so top+bottom will give you your 1". Yeah, you should be able to see if you have .5in more clearance in front where the lower valence is (but you can trim that with a razor blade) and in the wheel well behind the tire .5in. That is the most important because you cant cut much there. Unless you decide to grind the metal down. I am so close on mine that I cant wait to have my truck lifted 6" in the next month or so. Good luck. Sounds like itlll come out just fine and look great.

You'll fit 295/70/18 on your stock rims

I got 295/70/18 nitto terra grapplers at discount tire with replacement certificates for 1000 out the door they will match any prices even their own prices on ebay. Original out the door price was 1370 until i showed them their own prices on ebay they didnt even hesitate to compete with themselves.

I heard 295s rubbed on 2 inch level

Really wish Michelin ltx at or bfg rugged terrain came in 285/70r18

Considering this is perfect tire for F-150, I'm shocked by lack of mfctrs

I mounted BF Goodrich Mud Terrains 285/70R18 on the stock wheels and they fit perfectly. No rubbing at a all.

Do you have a level or do they fit a stock suspension?

Here is my truck before I put different rims on it. 295-70-18 nitto trail grapplers with a 2 inch level. They never rubbed with anything I did to the truck however you said mud flaps in your first post. I don't have those on my truck so that might be an issue for you.
