I recommend rechecking clearances when you get it together. I do not know how the 44 in size affects the clearance. If I did not have the truss, I would have 2-3 inches. I could just add 1/2 to 1" to the bumpstop, but I do not want to take away from the uptravel, so I am going with a smaller pulley.
Which 44 did you choose? One from a old Cherokee?
I was brought up on Mopars, and thought the Magnums were pretty good when they came out. Reality, they are a polished old turd like 4.0. They are reliable, proven, but heavy pigs. I was never a Cheby fan, but the LS platform has convinced me, GM did their homework, and it has shown. Efficient, expandable, adaptable, reliable, you have to try really hard to mess up a LS.
I am sure alot of ideas and methods have changed from 2005 to 2018 when I bought the parts. With anything, there is continual evolution. I know as soon as I am done with one thing on Sarah, i am moving towards the next item i want to do.
