Hey did you consider going with a 255 85r 16 tire the selection is not that great, but it measures 33 tall 10 inch section width and around 8 inches of tread width. I have a 71 f250 and I got rid of the 16.5's that was on it and bought a set of late model factory 16x7 steel wheels, mounted one of these tires, and I like the look. Tall and almost narrow.

According to fitment guides and Fourwheeler/Peterson's, I believe it says for 33's, a 2.5" minimum, 3-4" recommended. Otherwise, rubbing and or bottoming out can occur. Some lifts for the F100/F150 are not that expensive if you opt for rear blocks.
