Hello all.
I looked at other tire threads and couldn't find my answer so I thought I would ask here.
My son has a 2005 Ford F250 XL Super Duty.
He got some bigger tires and rims given to him. They are Toyo A/T II Open Country. LT 315/75R16
The ones on his truck now are LT 265/70R17
My question is do you think they will be able to run on his truck as is? He has no lift kit.
I was a little worried about rubbing on the front.
A friend said he would need a 3" lift. Another said he needs his front end leveled.
I don't know much about suspensions. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi you should be able to just get a basic leveling kit which is pretty inexpensive and the tires should be ok. Especially if you run them on the stock rims.

Thanks for the response 911 Cruiser.
He plans on running them on the new rims that came with the tires.
Pretty much just swapping out what is in the picture.
Would that be doable?
