no rocks? Im sure there are places with rocks, you just gotta find em! or buy some rocks. Swamp dawg's would be my choice, just look at the name!

i need something that'll give me atleast decent diff clearence with these clod axels..i don't wanna spend 30+ on maxx adapters, then tires then rims..and the clod size swamp dogs are 40 a pair!! in the vids iv seen, people get decent results using swamp dogs on rocks, here its mostly dirt and that stuff that id be running on so the dogs should be good

If you are looking for a little more diff clearance, go with the Masker 2K. They have a 5" outer diameter compared to the Swamp Dawgs 4.75" OD.

What about red rocks?
They are even taller and look like like a good dirt mud tire. I haven't used the 2.2 but the big ones work great for that stuff.

the red rocks work great in the muddy slop, they work like paddles and clean very well. they'll give you clearence at the diff and keep things high and dry. why a 2.2, clods aren't all that scale anyway

i dont care about scale, if i wanted scale i woulda built a tlt..im going with a 14"wb anyways..but 2.2's because its cheaper than getting maxx adapters, rims and tires..and the clod size tires are too pricey
