My tires are "only" 37s, and I think that's a pretty good size. If I wanted to go any bigger, I'd have to lift it more, trim sheet metal, or stick to crawling the mall. I don't really find any of those options appealing, so I'll just stick to the 37s.

Yours sure does look sweet with the 44s, though.

Thanks Tom! Yours was the one that really made me want to go sas. I'm thinking 37s are what ill run most of the time. The 44s are good for wow factor and will be used for show and parade duty.

Got a little more work done tonight. 44s now front n back on the passenger side. Its slowly coming together. Im just waiting on the guy to come get my suburban off my trailer so I can take the jimmy into the shop at work. The jimmy is getting alot of attention here in my small farming town lol. Population is probably under a hundred and I live straight across the street from the only church lol.

the axles have 3.42 gears in them right now. I am going to swap them out but I haven't decided on 4.56, 4.88 or lower yet.
