The tires in the pic are BFG Mud TA's 35x12.5x15. As you can see, there is a lot of room and I really need to install a 2" body lift to make room for the big block valve cover to clear the brake booster. The BFG's are 35" (true measurement) Thought about 38" TSL's but they are actually only 37"..not much good. Thinking about 39.5 IROK's and I'm pretty sure I can fit them. Just want to get some opinions.
On the rear. those are the stock springs but will be adding some 57's next week. Might get another 1" or so since 2 leaves on the driver side are broke in half right now.

Thanks

If you add the body lift you'll probably want to go bigger than 39.5. As it sits right now I think some 39.5s would be sweet. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
That was actually what I've bben thinking. I almost ordered them yesterday. It's almost an even trade since I have those 35's sold along with a set of wheels for the same price I can get the 39.5's for
 
39.5 Iroks are great tires, a friend of mine uses them in the rocks a lot, they bite really well. Im sure you'll love them /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Might do that> I see that the 39.5 tsl have 6/32" more tread depth than the Iroks too plus not much in the way of rocks around here. I will be moving most likely around the first of the year. Right now it looks like either Illinois or Nevada. Should be finding out soon I hope. IROKs better for Nevada and TSL prob better for Illinois area (home)
 
Ground hawgs would suck in both areas. Not worth a squat for rocks and worthless in reverse, (for mud) so that idea is out. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

I have some 38.5 bias Hawgs and can't really tell a difference in forward or reverse. They go just as good or better than a TSL in the mud.
