Do I need 16.5s to clear one ton disks?

[Hammerlane]

Nah.. grinding wheel.. an about 2 hrs labor.

[michigan maniac]

Or 15 inch rims with 2-2.5 inch backspace

Boggers and tractor tires

[betterbeaters]

ive ran alot! lol cut hawgs worked good cut bogger worked best 2 boggers 2 tsl works great when I needed to turn iroks works good for  everything I did. if you dont drive on the road and that blower motor runs 4 cut boggers would rock but a dana 60 would be a must lol

[Jthomas]

Yeah I'm doing 1 tons.  I still got a lot coming up for that build, as far as the suspension.

I may use the hawgs as road tires, and find a set of boggers for comps and play. But I want directional control in the mud



I don't have a trailer or tow vehicle, so I have to drive to events

[michigan maniac]

Better invest in a trailer and tow rig as soon as you can, breaking and trying to fix it right away just to get home is gonna get old quick ! 

[Jthomas]

Yup that's for sure. Damn tires will cost me a car. And plus I'm not even done with the truck. Lol

[4x4xdodgeman]

run boggers all the way around. don't wast time and $$$$ with tsl. boggers will turn in the mud.

[mutt truck]

Just me but I would work on the trailer and tow rig first... I've had to leave my rig stranded before when I used s tow bar and it sucks trying to get it all fixed up at someones property during the week away from your tools. Them u can worry about tires. Imo

[Jthomas]

Oh well.  Tires first, or else I'd have no reason to take it anywhere.  

I'll eventually figure somthing out. Till then, I'll keep driving.

[betterbeaters]

you have tires you dont have to have the best to play.. lol and its hard to play if you cant tow it anywhere lol I have been there

[Jthomas]

Lol. Yea I'll figure somthing out

[mutt truck]

My rig happened in stages... gota have the transport first then u can work on up grades, like better beaters said you may not have the best or what u want but it will get there. It just takes time my friend.

[Jthomas]

How much heavier would a 42" tractor be over a 42" bogger

[BAD APPLE]

I cut my hawgs like the second pic works good but befor this year starts I'm cuting out the front part of the lug and scooping them out to get a little more out if them they work good right now with out the centers if the bar. You cans kinda see in the third picture I cut a few of the lugs the way the hole tire will be when I'm done

[Jthomas]

That looks really nice, I'm still debating on going that route up front. I like the pattern.

[michigan maniac]

I ran 2 less cut up front and more cut out back
