Default What do y'all think?

I have a 2005 f150 xlt 4x4 that we previously lifted 6". After lots of research I decided I wanted to go down to at least a 4" lift. This decision was made because of areas I have to drive and park plus I like the look of the 4" better.
I know some won't agree with the 4" vs the 6" but it's been changed already.
I have been running 35x12.5r18 tires with the 6" lift and I still have them with the 4".
What I'm would like to hear opinions on is running a 275x70r18 tire with the 4" lift.
I already have these tires and they are brand new. I got a hell of a deal on them $640. General grabber at2 tires.
I'm afraid it will look goofy since the size is just over 33" and it's a little over 10" wide.
I would rather not install them to only have them be taken off a week later.

Here are a few pics What do y'all think?-photo462.jpg

4" lift now- I like the way it sits

Maybe run another 35?
What do y'all think would look best?

Owners preference. People have different taste, pick what you like best.

My 35's are pretty much done for right now.
When I got the truck the fronts were really low already.
I'll see about pricing out some 35's all terrain.
Last I looked they were expensive!

I don't have the entire kit.
Rough country sent me all the stuff for a 4" and I just swapped it out.

So I do have the from strut extensions, rear blocks and all the u bolts.

As said its preference but I wouldn't go smaller than 35. Would look too small but you're right they are expensive but I'd look for a deal through discount tire or tire rack etc

That's where I got my last set discount tire.
Great customer service.
I can get a set for around 850
Just hate that I have to sell the ones I got.
My brother (mechanic) would kill me if I made him mount and dismount 8 big ol' tires
