And if you do a search in this section there was a guy who did a RSK home built on his truck.. believe it was a late 80's but should be similar. not sure hoe much he netted but if your building it you should be able to lift it to what you want.

^^ Yup, even my Buddy's 37 Humvee take off's weigh more than my 38.5x15 bogger's...

Best i could tell the 46xml's are about 75 pounds heavier than a 44x19.5 Bogger, so that is a extra 300 pounds un sprung/rotating weight, takes alot more to turn the tire's and gonna put alot of strain on the part's in it.

So 44 boggers would be better. And as far as being rid of the truck that's not an option. Future projects may lead to a 12 valve convertion, but the truck has value to me beyond dollar amounts.

Yes Bogger's would pull better and be lighter, only problem is they take wheel speed to clean out, if your not racing and you have more of a low speed truck you just wanna crawl threw the mud with I would suggest the TSL's or the Pitbull rocker's as they dont take as much to turn and they will clean out with less wheel speed, not to mention cheaper. But bogger's will work to

PS dont worry about Joe, he is a traitor driving a chevy and looking to by a station wagon

If it's just gonna be a bog/trail truck I would get some cut Boggers. I've heard they clean out better.

no. cuts fall apart if driven on road and are like paddle tires in mud, they may clean out easier, but an idi diesel doesn't have the nuts too spin those sob's enough to make it worth it. horrible combo imho.

As much as it pains me i have to agree with Dan, cuts on a truck thats not gonna turn over 3k and make a metric crap ton of power is useless

he would be better off with stock bogger's or TSL's also they make a new bogger now that is 42" tall and 13" wide, instead of 44x19.5
