I had 35's on mine when I got it, but with a cut fender and bumper, and no lift, just spacers in the springs. It probably depends on whether you've got offset rims, but with 4 inches of lift, you should be close? I'm not sure, but someone will be along shortly who knows...

On a stock F-150, I think 31x10.50's are the best looking tires. They take up the right amount of wheel well, and have enough width. I actually don't mind 235's though. They looked great on my '87.

Yeah they'll clear. I got 35x12.50x18 mud grapplers on my truck with a 4in superlift. my tires rub on the radius arm and the sway bar. If it's 4wd then they'll rub on the leaf springs and sway bar. you can get wheel spacers but then you would have to cut or flare the fenders.

You can fit 35 12.50 on stock rims. If you have a 4 inch lift, I would recommend just keeping the 33 12.50s. Why don't you like them. I think that is the best setup for lift and tires for our trucks.
Also, if you go bigger then you may need to regear the axles.

Yeah, I never got to drive my truck(same configuration you're talking about, except no lift) in fifth until I took those tires off. I'm never putting the 35's on, even if I could get cheap gears, because I have new fenders to put on this summer, and I'm not cutting them!
