Super Swamper TSL/SX

One of the longest weeks of my life....... waiting for those tires to show up from 4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers.  I ordered (5) Rock Crawler Rims 15x10 (5 on 5.5), (5) Super Swamper TSL/SX, road hazard, lugs and caps. Well, they finally showed.  I have been wanting to upgrade the truck to 36" tires since I first bought it in 1990.  A couple of things that I have noticed so far..... they do not like pavement that much.  They are very sensitive about air pressure on the pavement.  A little more hum from the Super Swamper TSL/SX than the Dick Cepeks I had on there.  I also have to do some additional trimming to the rub rails and the fender flares.  Right now I have the 5.5 Rock Crawlers front and rear springs.  I am still contemplating a body lift if needed.
