| 5.4 Swamper Boggers on stock Gen 8?
I just ordered one of these and I have some 5.4" Boggers. I was wondering if anyone knew if these would fit stock?

The boggers I have are 1.9" rims. The Scout should be here this week. I'll let you guys know if they fit stock. Thanks! |

Got home from work tonight and finally had time to get it to it. They fit! I lowered the shock mount to raise the body and they don’t seem to rub when fully compressed. It’s pretty rad. Wanted to post a pic, but can’t figure out how to on here.

i realy like the way they look with the big tires on them but performance wise i think the smaller size works better on a stock truck im hoping 5 1/4 is gona be the best of both worlds but untill i can aford some nice new proline swampers im gona run the cheap chinese knock offs and put the hyrax back on the big dodge

I haven’t had a chance to take it outside of my yard yet, but 5.4 did seem like the best of both worlds from what I could tell.

That Scout body really lends itself to big tires, doesn't it? I put 5.4" Boggers on my younger son's Gen7 last year (with a Gmade Sawback body) and it about scales out to an old flat fender on 44"s with 15x14 steelies (everything at 1/8 scale.) As monster truckish as it looks, it landed on some magical combination of width, wheelbase, tire size, and belly clearance. It pulls a few lines that my well setup Wraith struggles with, yet his still fits in with the scalers/1.9 cars.
