I have the same question, same rims, and almost the same truck ('97 Xcab), but I don't know what a torsion crank is or what is meant by, "...a little trim in the front." I know I don't want a lift kit. Bigred's 285/75/16's look great (assumimg they are the ones in his gallery)

 

read my first or second post in this thread, I discribed the torsion crank there, and when I said trim, I was reering to the front plastic vailance as it comes back in to the wheel well area, and might need to be trimmed when running larger tires with no "lift"

 

i too have a 2002 f150 supercrew 4x4 aswell. i just recently put on 285/75R16, i was told they were the largest for stock. they are mud-terrains and have plenty of clearance with no rubbing at all. Makes the truck look sweet!!! good luck!

 

i have a 99 and i put 295/75/16 and they didn't rub after cutting inside of front bumper air dam a small bit they are 33's

 

Yes they are the ones in my gallery, that picture was taken without anything done but a small trim job, they still rubbed when I would turn sharp. I ended up putting in a leveling kit back in December, now I am removing it this spring due to the uncomfortable ride. If anybody you know is interested in this kit let me know. But yes I did do some trimming and they still rubbed.

 

you can put 33's stock with the torsion bars cranked, you can have 35's with a 4in suspension lift (a 3in body does nothing alone) or you can get 38's with 7in lift (4in suspension 3in body) and 9in (6in suspension 3in body can get 40's i believe)

the best look is a 6in suspension with 35's dont get a 4in suspension though its $100 less you might as well get 6 = ]
