I think downgrade your cli is not good idea becuase they are fixing lots of bug. You can specific your angular in package.json file. don't depend on your cli.

Edit

First install latest version from your cli. Then Specify the version you want in the 'dependencies' section of your package.json. For example if you want Angular 4.3.4 then you can edit you package.json file like

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^4.3.4",
    "@angular/common": "^4.3.4",
    "@angular/compiler": "^4.3.4",
    "@angular/core": "^4.3.4",
    "@angular/forms": "^4.3.4",
    "@angular/http": "^4.3.4",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^4.3.4",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^4.3.4",
    "@angular/router": "^4.3.4",
     ...........................
     ...........................
    }

Also change your devDependencies

    "devDependencies": {
      "@angular/compiler-cli": "^4.3.4",
      "@angular/language-service": "^4.3.4",
      .............
    }

now run npm install

  npm install

After finishing install you should see your version by ng -v command like this
