Mud only, its a bogger hands down, any type of trail riding involved or street time its a swamper. Any hills in your area yet again the swamper wins.
Bogger is great if all you do is mud and there is little to no street time, little to no trail time.
No DOT tire out there that can beat a bogger in mud.
for you though I think a bogger would be fine. Plus they look really cool

Like i said its not driven alot on highway, 20 miles a week if i take her to work to run some fuel through it, and the rest is rutted washed out, flooded field roads and sloughs. how do they handle in deep yet still hard ruts? or do they make them their own? ive never ran a swamper or bogger before so im looking for all the info to get the tire i will really like and that performs well, i have heard they dont to side hilling well but a tire groover could fix that i suppose and help with snow, i winter run it too for a change up

Best of both worlds... Boggers in the rear and TSLs up front.
and less getting stuck with front digging in to fast / and less axle snappage.

Yup, ran my old CJ7 with 39.5s this way and the Blazer is 44s like this. If I ever get to finish it.
Got the tires and rims though.
I've owned both, and like my LTB swampers better than the boggers I used to own
Siped TSL SX's Heavy, they have duty thick side walls.

Thanks guys! i ended up buying a set of 36x12.50.15 tsl's to try them out. they should help save on my 10-bolts for a bit longer, by the time i have everything to put 3/4 ton axles under it and have my engine built it should be about time for a new set....dont want to over work my blazer and break everything and not be able to wheel it.....let ya know how they do for it

Just remember a 3/4 ton front is no stronger than a 1/2 ton front.

what is the diffrence? other than the 6 to 8 lug?
no there is a 1" bigger dia rotor. bigger backing plate for the caliper mount. and if true 3/4 ton parts slightly bigger pistion on the calipers.
and yes 6 lug = 7/16 studs x 6
and then 8 lug = 9/16 studs x 8
there is a lot these to make it worth it in the end if you dont need bigger axle shafts / gears / or housing. if you need that just go 60

I have always gone to 3/4 ton fronts and sold the 1/2 ton because i break lug studs left and right. but i didnt know about the rotor and backing plate

rumor has it, the true 3/4 ton axles have a slightly thicker axle tube as well

I couldnt get the tsl since denman closed, so i got boggers, 35x10.50x15, hands down the only mud tire i will ever buy again, just need a wider set for playing and keep the narrows for winter and racing!
