Looking at 38" swampers on flip rims, got 2" body and 2" spring, don't mind cutting, has anyone done it and what extention on the lower rear control arm do you run?

Well you've sold me. I've always told my mates just buy it and we'll make it fit.. about time I took some of my own advice. Cheers for the pics, truck looks good. On a side note, what do you reckon of the swampers - rock / mud / road? I mostly drive rockish (forestry) but still would like to run a fraser trip or two. Are they acceptible / drivable? (I call flip rim internal beadlock 35 pedes acceptible)

Personally i love my TSL's my tires have done a lot of comp work before i got them ( a few tuff trucks) i did toperi challenge with them and i love them. i mostly drive rock myself and sure they aren't comp spec, but for price they are a kick ass tire. Watch a few of the older tuff truck dvd's and most trucks were running these tyres
As for on the road i have no idea sorry never driven on the road with them, have a look in the general section, there is a tyre topic on the tsl's.
hope this helps.
