You can add a body lift and/or cut the bumper/fenders to get the tire clearance you need.

Ya i suppose you could do that, cut the fenders and such...but mines been restored and has somewhat fresh paint....no way on gods green earth am i cutting them haha 
Plus i want the clearance with the 44s, not just the look of them. they do no good if they are always rubbin

ya now that im thankin about it I could easly sink several thousand dollars into a suspension system just like I do engines lol. the drive angles can be corrected by cutting and rewelding components on the axles and modifying them so the gears are still getting lubricated properly. would be a whole lot of work and money like the rest of yall are saying. but that is a good idea bigblockf350 with doin a 6 inch suspension, body lift and SAS.

Just remember that the pinion and output shaft of the tcase have to be for the most part parallel, you cant just slant up your axle (or so ive been told)
The way i see it Bigblock, since i have to go to leafs in the front, im going to do a sky shackle reversal thing, and it has a reciever hitch in the front too, along with the 8" superduty leafs. for the rear ill do 8" springs, a 3"RSK with a 3" body lift. and the sas +2". so looking at 14" in the front, 16" in the rear.
plenty of room for those 44"s to have lots travel

that's a good idea but are the drive angles still goin to be within spec or will it need to be corrected?

For standard u-joints, yes, but if you have a double cardan at the t-case end the pinion can (and must) be pointed at the t-case, not parallel.
