Half-ton truck? There is some debate on the wisdom of going much larger than 35's on the Dana 44 front axle.......

yeah lil odd having a 2.5" body lift in front and 3 back nobody even make a 2.5" body lift its either 2 or 3 no in between. as for your lift im running six inches with 37's and love it i have never hurt my front axle once and i do alot of 4 and 5 diamond trails. im running 37X12.50X16.5 military goodyear wrangler mt they are an amazingly tough tire and clear very well the only issue i have is they rub just a bit at full lock which on the road i hardly ever have to turn to lock. as for going with nine inches of lift your mechanic is an idiot, when you lift our trucks that high you run into way more problems.
