Re: chevy lift opinion
my truck has 4 inch rough country and 3 inch body . . . . seemed to ride better then stock . . lol . . I like rough country . . . not bad . . cheap and decent . . don't think ya can mess up leaf spring lifts that much . . my buddy had a tuff country on his durango and bent the upper control arm lowering brackets . . they were just bent around and tack welded . . so he called em up and got them to send him a new set so I took and fully welded em . .
other then that . . I was looking at superlifts and skyjacker . . .

Re: chevy lift opinion
7 inches isnt enough in my personal opinion for 44s, but thats what you like, so im not knocking that, im just saying i would want to clear them with just lift. i had 38s with 6 inch lift on mine and i hated how it looked. ive never seen one clear 35s stock, lol.
