Default Which lift kit

I want to put Nitto Dune Grapplers on my truck. My truck is a 94 Ford F350 Crew Cab how big of a lift kit do I need to put on it for 33 inch tires to fit? I need the lift kit to be as little as possible so I can still pull my gooseneck trailer.

You can probably run 33's without any lift

I'm not sure if I'm going with 33's that's the smallest I want to go with. It'll be between 33's and 37's.

Even 35's I have seen without any lift... They were stuffed in there but they fit okay. If you wanted 37's then you would need AT LEAST a 4" lift, preferably a 6"

Do you know how tall a truck would be with 37's and a 4 inch lift?

Bed height?

I don't know exactly how high, it would be massive though!

In my book no lift is the best lift.

For 37's i would go with 6in lift for sure. A leveling kit and you should be able to do 35's

35's will fit just fine with no lift, although you may need to trim the bumper if it has started sagging as they will likely rub at full lock.

Also, as you mentioned towing, keep in mind that a bigger tire is going to change your towing experience unless you regear to match. My dad had a '92 F-350 CCLB 4x4 7.3IDIT with 3.73's and it turned into a dog towing when we put the 315's (35") on it. With the stock 265's it would tow the world just fine...
