Im lifting my 89' chevy suburban from a 4" too a 12" leaf spring lift, will i run into d shaft angle problems? Will i need to drop t case? Also if anybody knows, will i clear 44's?

I'm sure your wheel base is long enough. But as far as the lift, I'm riding 9" on 40s. And Im going up to a 42". Im sure you could clear 44s. And if not, do a few inch body lift.

Yeah you will need a good aftermarket front driveshaft made to withstand the angle, or get a divorced 205 like i got and all angles will be good. as far as fitting 44's you'll need a 3" body lift or just trim your fenders up alot and you'll be alright.

sounds like a good project, yeah you'll wana drop your case and your rear shaft won't be an issue, it's the front that's gonna be your issue, your springs should be shimmed to help a lil, but your gonna have to drop your case and hopefully that'll be enough for ya, if ya was closer you'd have tons of help......
