C'mon, Pro - maybe he can't jump straight to 44s without some engine mods. You didn't even ask. So, if you haven't already done it, get some braided hoses, a chrome alternator, a fartcan muffler and a high compression radiator cap. Then 44s with a sawzall.

i grew up in alpharetta... what part do you live in? i lived across the street from Champions View Golf course on hopewell road!
you should be able to get 33's under it with maybe a lil bit of scrubbing. if you look at your truck from the side and follow the wheel well from the door to the front bumper you will notice a strange protrusion under the headlights and behind the bumper. if you will cut that off you should be able to run 35's with no problem! i cut them off of my 85 F250 and that gave me a good bit of room! i am so glad i did

Diddo on the fender trim, thats the first thing i did to my 81 bogger and i fit 35x16 bogger with no problem. But you can fit 33's no problem, but you will have to shim out the front bumper or you will have rubbing issues on the front bumper.

coarse you might not be able to move it, or turn it but you can get them on.
