your truck is offroad only right? if so, you will never notice 1/2". general Rule of thumb is to keep your gear ratios/tire sizes within 2 %. keep it under a 2% difference, and the difference is negligible. that is about a 1.2% difference in height, and since circumference is a direct relationship to diameter, same applies.

Yeah, dedicated off-road rig. That's what I was thinking, but wanted more input.

All the other places you mentions aren't even direct with Interco. 4wheelonline is some little office in Florida that never lays their hands on an actual part, that factoryoutletstore is the same thing. Some guy on the 20th floor of a building in NYC. NTB is direct and carry actual product, but don't carry much of Interco's stuff since the Denman fiasco several years back. Pretty much the same with everyone else outside 4WheelParts.

4wheelparts Swamper inventory never evens sees the Interco warehouse in Louisiana. They bypass that and have them shipped in direct from Mexico. I'd give them a call and see what they've got.

Called 4wheelparts and no deal. Said there is no ETA on them either. They have plenty of boggers, TSLs and Iroks.

In pictures those 42" Boggers look really skinny and the 42" TSL look wide, would think it might look a little weird if that is true if you put TSL front and Bogger rear (of course I'm talking looks so it might not do as well at a car show). The slight difference in tire height should not be an issue.

The 42.5" Bogger is only 13.5" wide, so you're right.

Yes I have bead locks. Look back to page 1.



For $138 more than the 39.5's, I can get the 42's. If I go 42's, I'll have to move the front axle forward and increase my wheelbase by 2-3". I'd like to have 42's, but not a 120" wheelbase... Unless down the road I link the rear and shorten the wheelbase. Then I could remove 2' of the back that I needed for the shackles. Think I just talked myself into it...
