Will 285/75r16 hercules trail diggers fit my stock 2000 f150 xlt 4x4 supercab with the stock rims or will it be too wide and will I need to crank the torsion bars?

Not to hijack your thread, but how big of a lift would I need to fit 315/70/17 on a stock 2wd?

Probably around a 3 inch if I had to guess. I wouldn't recommend it with stock gears tho. 4.10s or 4.56s (stock 3.73 at the VERY minimum and that's pushing it), unless you want really crappy milage and a lot more trany wear. I'm pretty sure most 2wds came with 3.31s and 3.55s, both are to tall of a gear for 315s
