Default about to order tires

im about to order a set of tires for my truck.. i know you can run 33s with a level and some people go even bigger but heres what i want to do.. im thinking about running a 33 12.50 17 mud grappler on my truck with it level..

do i need my truck leveled out to run these?

and will that width work and not rub?

ive got a 2003 f150 fx4 supercab with stock 17" fx4 rims

any advice is appreciated i cant wait to get some tires on this thing

I'm running 315/70/17 right now with just cranking on the torsion keys, I think you should be good to go

my buddy just got 33 mud graps on his 98 f150 and he got a leveling kit, no scrub at all. You should be fine with just turning the torsion bars up tho

I am running a set of 35x12.50 mud grapplers on Lightning wheels with just my bars cranked. Needs to be leveled to eliminate all rubbing. I'd suggest another tire, not very impressed with mine. Super loud and don't clean out in mud very well.

Oh yeah I remember your truck it's a white supercrew right? Looks badass with those grapplers.. I've had trail grapplers and those are badass tires and I figured I'd try out the mud grapplers but I'm kinda back and forth on mud grapplers or trail grapplers

Thanks! I'd like to have some trail grapplers. But for the price, I'm not gonna bitch too much about these mud grapplers lol
