5.4 Swamper Boggers on stock Gen 8?

[grandpablack]

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

they will fit the truck with out issue i have 2.2 hyraxs on mine right now all i did was move the shocks down to the low3st hole and the hyraxes are 5.75" tall
you do need 2.2 wheels the stock wheels are 1.9

they rub just a hair in the front at full lock while fully articulated and realy fill the fenders well but the rig dosent climb as well and its a bit more top heavy
quick vid of gen8 on 2.2 hyrax

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!"thumbsup"

I tried the 2.2 hyrax, they were just too huge! looked cartoonish to me....

right on it looks like a scout on 46" tires and massivly cut wheel wells to me i like the look but i dont like the drop in performance but they fit lol and if the rig was set up witb more weight down low it might work out ok

ah for some reason i was thinkin swampers not boggers lol so ya they will fit stock rims 5.4 will fit the truck just need to lower the shocks a hole or 2

It just came in the mail like an hour ago! I’m still at work. :roll:

 

[grandpablack]

It will probably be next week before I can get to it, unfortunately

 

[grandpablack]

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.

 

[ferp420]

right on
the pics need to be posted to some kind of photo sharing site then you post the link here if you want to imbed the pic theres some kind of stupid code for that

i dont remeber who showed me this its kinda a pain but it works

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

 

[grandpablack]

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.

i realy wish the fenders were closer to the real ones

but ya the way there cut i feel it needs bigger tires but then its go a need some weight down low to get the center of gravity back down to perform

Truck looks good, are those pro-line or rc4wd boogers? I've got the 1.9 rc4wd boggers and they dont look as wide as yours??
