Just want to know how much lift people have to clear 44''s. I am looking to use 10'' springs and 3'' body. Will it work?

My old K10 had 10" + 2" body and I still needed to trim the fenders to clear 44" TSL's. You can see pics of it on my site.

Yeah they will clear more than anything else. Go for it. (I dont recommend 12" for hard core wheeling but for a pavement pounder go for it)

reddman · 12-14-2004, 09:24 AM

is this question asked every day? why would u want 13" of lift? do u wanna tip over pulling out of the grocery store? buy the 44s and a saw.

This is the setup I'm using.....

Small lift, big tires. Mall crawlers need 13" - and I'm gonna guess this is an IFS truck, too.

Chevyboy51 · 12-14-2004, 04:43 PM

10 and 3 will clear fine on the road put cutouts on if its going to be used but it will be top heavy for anything technical good for deep mud though . i have 6 and 3 on mine with some heavy front fender trimming i can run 44 without a problem

penguin · 12-14-2004, 11:10 PM

Not IFS, its a 1979 Powerwagon with chevy running gear.

reddman · 12-15-2004, 10:14 PM

maybe ask the dodge guys, they tend to be more into the big lifts anyways. this actually happens to be the gm board.

StockChevy · 12-16-2004, 10:39 AM

ya, the chevy running gear wouldn't effect what your asking. If the body is dodge, that's the section of this site you want to visit. Tire clearance will depend on body and frame, which in your case is Dodge.

So are you willing to cut fenders? If so, how much? If you don't want to, and take it off road where the suspension will articulate, you'll need around 20". If you want to cut, I'd say go around 4"-6".
