I don't think so, there will be rub. Ive heard that the NBS cant clear bigger tires as well as the OBS, and mine rub back out the driveway with my wheels locked to the sides

Danny, on yours you need to crank your bars, tie back the fender liners, and trim the front valance. I've got 32.4" tall 285's and mine don't rub even off road.

It rubs when i drive off the ledge with wheels at lock. and it barely even noticeable. I might put in my green keys after i get a new center link and pitman arm

Danny, you don't need green keys. For what you are wanting to do you have plenty of crank with the factory bolts and keys.TP I'm not sure about the Ford but maybe Brant can post an answer.

I'm 95% sure that they will clear -- I'm going to put some on my 2wd... its once you get to 295 and larger that you start to have problems
