it would be nice to have the 52'' front springs but make the rear shackles able to move to multiple spots forward (for a spring swap later on) and your factory length springs will work for now. then set everything up like a 52'' swap (itll be moved 1 or 2 inches forward and with the drop crossmember itll be higher.

I hear ya, I know I can make the 44's fit, just want good clearance so I don't rip a fender  off or dice a tire. I am moving toward 1 tons but would really like to 4 link it.

I like to keep the center of gravity as low as possable, I don't wanna roll, lol. I really think I could squeeze 44s under mine with some more trimming

Thing about mine is that I have the bush wacker extend-a-fender on it and would have to take those off to trim...a lot more work to it.

Yeah those flares look good.  I was gonna get some too, but my tires don't stick out enough.  But they look bad ass on yours

the 700r4 is a monster performance trans. Built for up to 600hp and if I get to a point where I need to upgrade, i'd think about going a diff direction. Right now the trans has less than 2000 miles on it in total.
