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:

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

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

I went with hoops to match the front, looked best IMO
