You have boggers right now, correct? Swampers are a little narrower but the best option would be a 42" Swamper. Overall they're a fair amount narrower than the 44" swamper. I'm not aware of a narrow 44" tire myself.

ok i thought that the same company that made the boggers had some kind of a skiny 44 . and i know i have seen really tall mud tires on duallies in magazines .
might need them to pass inspection so i nee something that fits under the fender a little better .
thanks

the skinniest/tallest bogger i believe is the 38.5 x 11" and some guy around here has them on his chebby dualie, they look decent but would look funny on a non-dualie truck imo

i ran those for a couple of years until they came out with the 38.5x15 bogger... i just ran them on a 10 inch wheel and they ballooned out enuf they didn't look like chainsaws... LOL

If your only concern is going through inspection, just put some fender flares on. I got a roll of that plastic garden edging from my parents shed, put it on, went through inspection and took it right off. You can get enough of that stuff to do your truck for like 20 bucks.It may be a cheezy way to do it, but it's cheaper than real fender flares. Especially if you are only going to have it on for a couple of hours.

Michelin XL's like KO said... They have 46.70x15.60R20 and 44.50x14.70R20's... I tihnk those withds are correct, I dunno, they are within a half inch of that... That means getting new rims though...

Why would you want to spent a grand or better for new tires,just to pass inspection?Just put the stock tires back on.
