Lift amount for 33x12.50
I have a 95 F150 and the 235's are way to small, 31's aren't much bigger, and 32's are an odd size.
I'd like to be able to run 33's without any rubbing on the radius arms. (By no rubbing I mean at full lock on pavement). I have literally brand new coils so I was looking at the coil spacer leveling kit. Any thoughts.
(P.S I have 3/4 ton leafs on the rear so have gobs of room back there)

When I measured at full lock at stock hight 10.50's would just barley clear the radius arms with about an 1/8" to spare

Before I ask this I am brand new to lifting vehicles so this may be a dumb question but with the lift wouldn't it raises the radius arms for a 12.50 wide tire to fit?

There really should be a sticky on what fits with what lift.
With 33x12.50x15 BFG A/Tsand cragar15x8 wheels with 4" backspacing ,on my truck with no lift I had to trim the bumper because of rubbing and , I had a slight rub at the radius arm. With the same size and brand M/Ts I had more rubbing on the bumper, so more trimming , and rubbing on the rear of the plastic fender liner.
The fender liner rub was. cured by removing the bottom two screws at the fender lip, and pulling the fender liner back until I could screw it to the cab flooe with self tapping screws.With the radius arm , I tapped the stops on the spindles and screwed in 8mm allen head bolts to stop the tire from hitting. That solved most of my problems, the next surprise was that if I bottomed out hard , the tire would hit the fender liner at the top of the wheel arch and rip it loose.Eventually I put in a body lift , then a leveling kit and f250 springs , and went to 35s , and finally cut fenders and 37s.
