heres my gal
83 chevy k30. 496/4500/205 on 42" tsls
suspension is rear: diy shackle flip. 4.5" shackle. 4" tuff country spring roughly 8" total
front are skyjacker 6" softrides, 1.5" shackle, 0 rate... roughly 9" lift
this pic was taken with no drivetrain so the suspension has not completely settled (body off restromod) ill post up 2 pics for yah, and the fenders werent cut at this time either
im 5'6"
first one is with the body lift 3"
and this is how tall the truck will be (no bl)
this one is with bl... yes i am running the stacks

42" tsls... id say with cut fenders and the bl you will have no problem clearing... after these tires wear out im gonna upgrade to 44s and try not to lift it any more than it is now
you can see how much i cut my fenders in the last pic

Steve I'm guessin you have a diesel...is it a 6.2?
Thats my prob, im going to do the body all over on my swb. I have a cowl hood, fenders, doors, rockers and cab corners done last year...and then it will be painted. Id hate to get the tires and them rub too hard...i can get a deal on em and dont wana pass it up.. I dont mind cutting the new fenders for new cuttouts but i dont wana chop anymore than that, i have 37s now and lots of room...
Not in this one, im my m1008 i do. In this one i have a 350 .040 over,solid 525 lift cam, its roughly 450 hp on race gas, 456 gears, dana 60, 14bolt, 456/205...

496 stoker
i did the cab corners, rocker parts, got a cowl hood... so after its painted it will look good
heres a shot of my front fenders... some extreme cutting
the fenders look good, i dont wana go that far with them. just cut outs and flares. nice work tho....

thats the only way i think im gonna beable to fit 44s with 8" but u have the body lift so who knows
Here's mine...
Front = 2.5" lift 52's (currently without the overload spring) - approx 6" lift
Rear = 4" lift 56's + 2.5" flip + Zero Rate
1" body lift
Tires = 43" SX's
There's about 2.5" difference in height front to rear so I'm planning on adding a Zero Rate to the front and possibly putting the overload back in.

heres a pic with old cut out flares and 37s, im thinking it will clear 44s but barely....maybe ill keep the 37s for wheeling.

Sounds like another thread...
Anyhow, 44" boggers, 13" suspension lift.

Imagine those man tires you were gonna put on there. They were 49s right?
wow....my current tires are small. you have 13 inches, did you cut the fenders like that because they rubbed or just clearanced em that far..?
47" LTB's (they're on lar300mag's truck now), it's only 4" on paper but there was a dramatic difference in size.
There's not really anything in my pic for perspective but it's not really that tall. My old truck had 12" w/ 44's and was a good bit taller.
with the 12inch and 44s did they rub..?

47s dangt that's right.
Here's my old truck...
Front = 10" springs
Rear = 8" spring + 2" block
2" body lift
It didn't rub BUT the fenders were cut and it was purely a mud truck so I never really pushed it to flex.
