Those tires are only about a 31.5" tire. Do you have a 2wd?

Its a 4wd, the tires are actually 285/70/17 I made a mistake in my original post. The 285/70/17 works out to be a 33" tire by the convertor I used, I think they might look a little small once the lift is on but I've been keeping an eye out for cheap set of used 35's that I could switch to.

IMO I would do tires and lift at same time. That size looks great on a leveled truck, like I'm sure yours is. I had them on my old stx. Here is a pic.

Thanks Sanny. I've been looking at Rough Country 4" lifts but couldn't find one for less than $1200 with stabilizer bars. Sounds like you got a hell of a deal.

Yeah, just keep an eye out on Craigslist or Kijiji (which I think is more of a Canadian thing). It took me about 6 months of waiting and searching to come across the lift I bought.

Yeah, I agree I would like to have everything and put it all on together. But I'm working on a budget so I'm going to wait until I can find a decent set of 35's used for a good price. I just want to get the lift on now while I have the time and help to do it, and yeah mine is currently leveled with 275/70/18's.

33's do tend to look okay on a 4 inch lift provided they are an aggressive tire. The mtz should look okay.

Finally had a chance to snap a couple quick pictures of the 4" RCX lift with the Eagle alloy rims and 285/70/17 MTZ's I installed on my truck. I think the 33's look pretty good for now, but I'll definetly be saving up to put some 35's on it in the future.

The truck in my avatar pic has a 4" Rancho lift. There are a few more pics here of the same truck https://www.f150forum.com/g/album/1442520 I have always ran 35" tires on this truck since I bought it new back in 06, the dealership installed the lift kit before I took physical possession of it.
