I have the 5100s on my F150 and they ride really nice.
I also run 33" tires and they fit with no problems.

I think I have a smidge more that 1". I'm hoping for a level and 34's and still being able to fit with the bars.

They "should" fit. A lot depends on the rim offset.
You can also spread the crash bars or flip the front ones over to get more room.

I added a couple of goodies:
Husky MudFlaps:
These are great but Husky messed up my initial order so I had to wait for these and then they didn't send the hardware for the rear flaps. I can appreciate that retailers are overwhelmed right now but...I'd be more upset if the product wasn't great.
Bedrug XLT mat:
I'm hoping this helps keeps the dust out. It's a lot lighter than I thought it would be but I think it will work great with the build out I'm planning in the back.
Here is some inspiration for what I'm planning:

You can install a tailgate gasket to help keep the dust out.

Make sure you prep the mounting surface really well.

Concerning tire size question above- we have '20 F-150 CCSB EB 3.5 w/ level kit spacer for now, likely go ICON after a few miles, Timbren in rear. And running 275/65-20 or 34" (Duratracs) without rubs or issues. Likely move on to 295/65-20 when ICON installed, which go 35-35.5" pending brand/model tire. Have done several 150's over the years, and this tire size as well as 285/75-18 (preferred) is great sweet spot!

Nothing really to update, but I have a "how it started" picture I touched up a bit after a little drive in the snow.
I plan to build out the bed for storage soon. We may get to do a family shakedown trip to Southern Utah mid-February...
This truck also has PITIFUL headlights, I need to upgrade the bulbs. I also found these clean looking light bars I might add: https://www.americantrucks.com/rough-country-f150-dual-10-in-black-series-led-grille-kit-70808.html
Oh, and I had to have the drivers side front wheel bearing replaced, at 36,000 miles, so that's not encouraging. But it's all set now.

The easy way to replace the bulbs is to go through your front wheel wells.
I added LED bulbs to my 17 and they made a world of difference.

I went with the morimoto 2.0 led on both low and high beams on my 2018 onefitty.
Amazing improvement and very cut off beam pattern they don't blind oncoming traffic.
Very well recommended. I think they are on the 3.0 version now

Let me know if you get the light bars and what you think of them.

Put on some new tires: BFG KO2 275/75/18
I looked at all the other tires, ultimately this is what my heart wanted. I had BFGs on my Jeep way back in the day, letters out, grandpa style.
Also started the build in the back. I will add some 1/2" baltic to enclose the vertical walls, I have hatch doors on the top. The platform is for the dogs, I will load the cooler and my chuck box behind that. First trip will be all the way down to Padre Island National Seashore for some remote beach camping over spring break.
There are some build videos on my instagram.
