i got my 44's mounted..... i know, they're kinda bald...but they were really really cheap, and the back two have about 30% tread on em'.


this is with 12 in lift springs in the front. i just ordered my sky crossover kit today and will be installing my 3in body lift very soon(as soon as i get some spare time)


anyways, enjoy...

yeah, i know...lowering it would make it more capable to most...but his is strictly for MUD and the MUD DRAGS.... oh yeah, down here in FL. bigger is better.
 
dont worry..i've got a few things up my sleeve...haha....i plan to finish the suspension/wheels/etc. first...
 
thinking of putting 44's on mine as well... how much lift u running there? ive got 10in with 39.5's rite now and they scrub just a little when fully flexed...not to say rock crawlin flex but followin 44's flexed


btw doesnt look like ya have any shafts in there...how did you correct the angles?
 
the front has 12in superlift springs...the rear is stock leafs with an AAl, 4in block and shackle flip..... the rear shaft is in, but i gotta cut off the perches and rotate the pinion down so i dont have to buy a cv shaft...the front shaft isn't in yet...and im gonna cross that bridge when i get to it. i think the springs will sag a little in the front, and im prolly gonna run a zero rate up front along with the 3in BL i still haven't installed...
 
I know you're into Mud but don't do the body lift. Trim a tiny bit off the rear of the front fenders (mine is almost back to the inner wheel well) and call it good. I had 8" Superlift springs and they don't flex at all so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the 12's won't move at all so you don't have to worry about stuffing tires.

I have a BL on my K3500 (it was on it when I got it) and I won't ever have a truck with one again. Extending everything is a mess and on top of it all it just won't ever look right.

I agree with Avery; i know you have the body lift already, but a little trim wont hurt, or if you want you can move the axle forward and just trim under the side marker. I run 8" lift 52's up front and it gave me about 11" of lift and with the axle moved forward it clears the 44's nicely for mudding; however, when i try and flex it out a bit, then i start to get into the fenders, but i know you said this is strictly a mud truck so you dont really need to worry about that.
 
hmm....point well taken gentlemen....i've been lookin at it lately and and thinkin i may just run a zero rate up front and call it good.....not completely sold on the body lift yet.....this biatch is big....real big.....but i know i could be 3in bigger is the only thing...haha....im not sure what im gonna do...thanks guys

Dude, I love the look of your Blazer!!!
I couldn't do that big, but I wish I could.
I kinda enjoy parking in my garage and I gotta haul my dogs around in mine.
But Sweet Rig!!!
