I run a 6 in lift on my blazer with 3 body and I have had 38 on it I think I could have used 40 but never did. My new burb convertion Im going to use a 6in spring lift from a 73 up truck build my own hangers this should give me more lift then the 6in for ower trucks. In the rear Im going to use 2in springs and hangers from a 3500 the frames on the newer trucks ar taller and you and drop the hangers down a little to lift the back. just make sure if you do it this way that make a gussit for the hangers. Im also going to move the fron axle forward an in mabe 2 and the rear back an in or 2. hoping to have the new doner pannel or burb soon so I can get started over the winter.

6 inch super lift, 3 inch body lift 40X17X15 Ground Hawgs tires, never rubbed once. On one side (passenger front) I had to hack off some inner fender. But I've twisted the heck outta the frame going through ditch's and climbing over rocks... doesn't rub....

Of course yours won't rub. You have huge cut out flares.

OK I'll put my two cents in too. Also keep in mind that what WHEEL you use will make a difference. If you run a narrow tire on a 8.5 rim you may not nned as much lift and if you go with a wide wheel 12" or 14" this will "fan" the tire out making it wider and a little shorter so keep this in mind as your comptemplating your decision. If you go with the wider this will give your truck more stability with the wider footprint.
