I've seen pics of a Z71 with 44's on it with the IFS. I'll try and find the link and post it.
I would think that a large tire like that will be too hard on the 1/2 ton IFS stuff. It just wasn't designed with big tires in mind. It might look good for a while, but I think if used hard, it will be more trouble than it's worth, and you'd be better off doing a SFA conversion. I mean, look at a 4x4 mag once in a while. All the trucks running big meats like that are running at least Dana 60's, and lately, I've been seeing alot of 2.5 ton Rockwells under mud trucks with big tires in the mags.
Now a Rockwell may be a litte overkill, but then again depending on what's under the hood and how heavy a foot, maybe not.
And a D60 deffinitly isn't overkill with big tires.
Ok, I found it:
