Will 39.5 Boggers make a truck wonder alot?
« on: February 24, 2009, 12:40:29 am »
Just wondering my truck has boggers. and its lifted 10 in. I love it, but it seems like it wonders alot. Is there a heavy duty pump I could but for it? It squeaks on tight turns.

I had a set of 44" swampers, same deal as you, truck was all over the road. I put on some 35"s and it drove much better.

I had the same problem with my 44" Boggers as well. Are you running 15" wheels like I was? If you shorten the sidewall you'll stiffen the tire resulting in less flex. I'd run what you have until you need tires and then opt for a taller wheel with the same size tire or size down. Just my $.02. Nice looking truck btw.

Yeah i'd run em till you need new ones. By then you could save up for taller wheels or smaller tires or whatever you want.
