http://woodsbuggy.com/forum/woodsbuggy-talk/17424 1) I.M.O. it is important to get the top of the shock out away from the buggy frame. 2) A shock mounted plumb looks the cleanest, but will bind and fail. 3) Read, read, read: http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavist ... ers/Part_1 http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/coilovers/Part_1/ |

They are TSL swampers. I will check the measurements when I get home but I believe they are 31x9.5. |

That's what I run on mine. But I think they are 28x8.50 |

I just checked and mine are 31X9.5 TSL Radials... According to their website, they are 46 lbs. They have a smaller version - LT215/85R15. They are 28x8.5 and only weigh 35 lbs. |

I believe they make a 29x8.5 in the Bias TSL. The weight should be less as well. |

A friend of mine has the 29 bias on the front of his buggy, they work great, I've been trying to get them from him for awhile |

Here some examples I had when I was tryin to decide how to do mine.    I went with hoops to match the front, looked best IMO   "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet."--Abraham Lincoln |
