... I was thinking 255/100r16 military style which is a little under a 36
Holy cow! $600 each, and looks like offroad only?

On a stock F350 front end I fit 255/85/16 no problem--they do come close to the bumper but no contact. For simplicity and reliable starts even with a few failed glow plugs I would install a manual glow plug switch.
A manual fuel shutoff mechanism instead of the 12v fuel shutoff solenoid in the IP would be a sweet upgrade IMHO. I'm sure it doesn't happen often but the thought of being stranded due to a failed FSS just don't sit well with me.

Manual fss would be cool. No reason to be stranded if one fails though, just remove top of pump and remove lever from fss.
315s I think will be a problem especially if you air down off road.
I think you should give some more thought to your tire choice.
285 75 16 are a stretch on stock 7" rims, 315s I think will be a problem especially if you air down off road.
I've had a FSS fail in a very freak accident. This doesn't sound like it's possible, but I swear that it's true. In my first 1985 F250, I had a Kenwood radio that burned itself up. It started making a staticy noise. I looked down and saw smoke coming out from underneath the dash. Then the truck quit running. I got it towed back home, changed out the radio and no power in the cab. After a good bit of looking, I found that the fusible link off of the alternator had seperated (burned?) internally, but the outer insulation was fine. After I replaced it, I had power back to everything again but still no start. I finally found out that the FSS was not working. I swapped the whole top of the pump out with one off of another one that I had and it worked just fine after that. It wasn't really the fault of the FSS, but it did fail in a very peculiar way.
