looks sweet. whats up with the boggers in back and tsl in the front?
 






theres a couple reasons, the biggest one being, in the mud, boggers push well, but dont steer well at all, so the tsl's help steer. And while side-hilling, buggers like to slide sideways while tsl's dont.
So far this setup has worked really well, it needs 4.88's and more ground clearance, but besides that it pretty well goes anywhere i point it.
 






Oh cool I never thought of that it's a good idea your truck looks pretty sweet. You just play in the mud or what kind of wheeling do you do? I want to get some swamper but i hear they don't wear well since my truck is a dd too plus they suck in the winter on snow and ice I hear and I live in Iowa
 






What are you running for a lift and tire size?
 






lookin good
 






damn thats nice, i like the wheels.
 






Thanks guys, I mainly go wheeling in the mud, with tight trails hill climbs etc. and I wouldnt recommend the boggers if your going to drive on road alot, but the radial tsls work great and dont wear nearly as bad. But neither one are very good in the snow or ice.

And im running 33 12.5 15's with bone stock suspension and a 3" bodly lift
