If you want nasty mud tires, get Boggers. Otherwise, the Hawgs would be my choice of the two options you mentioned.

iam not to partial to boggers they are good dont get me wrong but they're life expectancy is short. thats why i want to go with a bias tire ie: ground hawg or gumbo mudder. if i was to go with the boggers i would shave every other lug to make the tire paddle like and then i would get even less wear out of them....thanks for the opinion though.

I have had both the Gumbo mudders and the Ground hawgs, I like the Gumbos better.

I run Boggers on the back, and Gumbos on the front of my truck.

I figured I trimmed the fenders about 3 inches or so. The lift might be 3 inches...I have never measured it, I guessed when I wrote that.

My brother has a 3" or 4" superlift suspension on his 79 bronco and he sits higher than I do.
