Maxx Masher or Mulcher from Proline. Both rule.

You can squeeze Giant Tracs on 3.2 also.

Honestly,they aren't real comp freindly. If they were made with Moabs XL's,they'd probably do better. They are fun to run just goofing around and running in the BIG rocks. If the weight is placed right in the truck,it'll drive on the sidewalls easy Theres a build thread here where I showed how I built them. Search for "8 1/2" LST's" and it should bring it up. It was LOOOOOONG time ago,so it'll be an old thread.

If you build tires this size,you WILL need bomb proof axles. Clod axles will wither away just bolting them up

Heres a video my brother made of me running them for a bit at my rock garden at home.
