Default Tire sizes

I have a 95 f150 4.9l i6 it already had a 4 inch body lift when i bought it and since its there already i was thinking a set of 35's would look the best on it, what im curious about is will my engine be able to push them with out putting to much stress on it or should i go with 33's??

Then we can't answer your question. There's a tag on the diff and there's a code on the door.

Its going to struggle a bit. Mine has 3.08 and I am putting 35's on it, but I will be rebuilding the axles and swapping gears this coming winter...

Yeah a little bit but between 33's and 35's there is not much difference. If you dont plan on swapping gears and want it to last longer then 33's is the way to go but 35's wont hurt either.
