Bud8817 is running 36x15.50r20 in the Claws. He has an 8" CST and he had rubbing so he added I think a 1" spacer.

I dont think that size would work with just a 6" lift.

Your gonna need Ajustable coilovers... so you can get closer to 8" to beable to run 36x15.5 tires... are racerunners ajustable? And even after you crank the coilovers up you probably will still rub do to the width of the tire.. 15.5 is extremely wide.

I know theres a member running Super Swamper Iroks in 36x13.5 Great looking tire and very good performance offroad for a radial! His name is BIG50... heres a pic of his truck...

Sorry BIG50 for stealing you pic...

Are the Iroks as loud as the boggers? I'm thinking about changing over to them.

NO nothing is as loud as the bogger! HEHE. My dad has 36" Iroks on his 2005 Dodge Power Wagon and you cant really hear them over the HEMI and Flomaster Exhaust. Now boggers on the other hand made more noise then my dads cummins...

Id compare the Iroks with a BFG with alittle more hum... The boggers will walk all over the Iroks offroad but they will ride better and probably last longer.

im at 9"s now with no rubbing, i had rubbing with just 8" but i didnt want to cut up my wheel well to much. you might want some adj. coilovers or a body lift to run these tires...

whats the backspacing on the wheels you will be running??

so does this mean that they make sway-a-way coilovers for 6" lifts now?

They have for WELL over a year now... just (might be two or more years... not sure)


SAW is an excellent company, love em for all the buggy shocks I have used, have yet to use em on the Ford tho.

As for a 15.50" wide tires...
I mean, yes it looks cool, but why ? Will be a PITA getting it to a point where it doesn't rub. Hurts gas mileage even that much more, and well... are huge !

As for the IROK's , I have seen BIG50's truck in action up close and live and those tires are very, very nice and did great when wheeling. I would suggest sticking with something closer to 13.50" wide... but thats just my opinion.
The 15.50" tire sure does look SAWEEEET, again my opinion.
