I have an 88 P/U tht I just got finshed putting a superlift 4" lift on. I purchased 4 inch rear springs and the downey torsion bars as well. I am looking for tires and am a little stumped. Last time I purchased tires for a truck my options were super swampers or ground hawgs. Now there are so many choices it is confusing. I plan to only use the truck for mud bogs (50%), off roading in mud, dirt some sandy dirt (25%) and street driving to and from cruise night or tooling around on a sunday morning (25%). Tire noise is not a concern. Tires that I like are... Swamper boggers, Swamper TSL, BFG Muds... what do you think gives best mud traction? What gives best of both worlds? I am trying to weigh the pro's and cons of going with a full on mud tire. Any thoughts? As always...thanks

 

if you are spending all your time in the mud then go with the bogger or TSL

 

its just bout prooven that the boggers cant be beat as far as mud and mud alone. thats where my vote goes.

 

I would go with the boggers if mud is your main concern.

 

If you wanna cruise in the mud, the skinnier the better. You dont want to plow thru it (kills speed) you want to sink to bottom and grip. Most of our trucks lack power (4 and 6 bangers) But.................... hey, if you got a V8 getcha some wide boggers and "float on top" this takes tremendous power to do.

 

i think they make 34x10.5x15 boggers not sure but i know they make some for TSL a friend had some on his samauri and it was crazy in the mud!!

 

I HIGHLY suggest you dont run a bogger. yea, its the best mud tire...but that comes with downfalls. You have an 88 pickup= IFS. Boggers destroy yota IFS SO fast its not even funny. I've seen it first hand for years. ide love to run boggers, but i would never run them on my IFS. I suggest you look at TSLs or LTBs. Stiil extremly agressive, but not as heavy as a bogger and not as hard on the front end.

 

I have heard really good things about the firestone MT, its what I am aiming for later on.

 

If you run a somewhat narrow bogger you are going tear up the truck unless you are hard on the skinny peddle, if your driving style is described more by "power" or "momentum" verses "finesse" then definitely don't go with wide boggers.

 

I drive my 4Runner everyday and the Super Swamper SSR's still work great in the mud.
