No suspension lift tires effective in mud bog racing??

ya put it on. LOL
na, if you can do a third gear burnout,you'll have to try, you'd probably be alright. Otherwise, try a bunch of diferent gears to figure what you'd feel most comfortable doing wide open launch at with as much tire speed as possible. .
Mine in 3rd hi is around 55to 60mph tire speed. You only wish the truck could catch up by the end like a pro modified bogger. (by the way I've beet one,LOL)

ps, read a 4 wheel drive mag for any and all lifts made for your truck,2",2. 5",3",4. 5",5",5. 5"

A new problem with my frequent travels:
I get home ready to order the tires and find my cheerful wife handing me the keys to a new shiny garden tractor... . (old one died & she was being helpful)...

Guess what mad money fund the tractor money came from.....

Thanks for the help guys, now I'm not sure I can find the $ for this season's bogs #ad

FWIW, I rolled a set of 33x14. 50 Boggers out next to my front tire and decided that nothing bigger was going in there. I couldn't have dreamt of running 35" Boggers, they're alot bigger than most 35"s. Here's my opinion... The Claws will fit without a lift of any kind. If you put them on beadlock wheels, you can air down to 2 or 3 psi and take advantage of the Sidebiters. This will achieve up to a 20. 1" tread contact patch. I recently noticed that Four Wheel Parts Wholesalers now has RockCrawler Beadlocks that are street approved. (If they'd had 'em when I bought mine I'd have the 'locks!). Rockcrawlers are definitely the cheapest wheel you'll find, and the 16x8 has the correct backspacing. If you're fixed on getting Boggers, then I suggest not getting them bigger than a 33". Besides that, my Claws are hairy enough on wet pavement, I don't think I'd want to run Boggers on the street with a truck this heavy. As for the spacers, no, you don't need any other mods, but the whole front axle will sit slightly farther to the rear than stock. Keep this in mind when purchasing tires. I had to get rid of my running boards because I neglected to consider this and the tires rubbed them slightly. My opinion on siping is that it would already be there if it were a worthwhile design element. I think if I siped the Claws, the tread would likely shred over time. I figure these tire companies put alot of thought into their products. If they didn't think siping was a good idea, then it probably isn't.
