if they werent so poorly designed id go for it.

the tread depth of the 44" boggers and the 54" boggers is the same... you would think the tread depth would be deeper.

id like to see a 50" Ground Hawg

i believe 44's will look extremely good.

Merctech i went rockcrawling at work today in my Mule lol. PM me your number and ill text you a video

good choice 44's are a great tire for a 1ton axle. i wont ever put a bigger tire on some 1tons.
TSL's are the truest set of tires out. hawgs are a harder rubber and wear better on the road so its really just personal preferance.
my .02 i think the tsl line does better in the mud and self-clean the best

yeah man, ill get with you and we can get something together for a meet. Hooters would be nice.

UPDATE:
Gonna have to do some headlight modifacations to keep her street legal.
Gonna run snow plow lights most likely they have blinkers and high and low beams so its a good choice.

I also need to have the truck re weighed. hoping for over 5500#'s we will see.
