If you are one stock wheels you can fit 285/75r16 or 305/70r16 without cranking them all the way up.

So, I bought a '02 F150 Lariat FX4.How can I tell if it sits at a stock height? I know he cranked the keys a little. And the rear axle looks like it has about 1-2 inch blocks on there, with the OEM bumper stops on there. I hope this is understandable. And if I answered my own question,that's Ok also. Just looking for some help. Thanks.

If the rear blocks have a wedge the points toward the middle of the truck then they are stock. If you measure from the center of the front hub to the bottom of the fender flare and it is around 22.5" it is also stock.

There are wedges pointing to the middle of the truck. I'll measure the center hub to the fender well.
