LTB= Long Tread Block
:)

From the site:
What is the Super Swamper LTB... A Super Swamper
with a little more length on the largest lug.
Eceptionally tough and designed for hard off road use.

The side lugs are extra long
for more dirt removal, these
things are like a tractor tire,
and they dig holes in a hurry too

Now looking at it I don't see too much difference
in it either, but their site said:
The Super Swamper LTBs are in the same basic
Three Stage Lug design as the famous Super
Swamper TSL’s but a little more aggressive.  The
large lug is offset more to the outside which gives
the tire superb traction.  It is in bias ply construction
which allows for the more aggressive lugs and very
strong sidewalls to better resist the rigors of hard off-roading.
The bias construction reduces the chances
of sidewall splitting when run off road at low air
pressure.  There are seven sizes available….sizes
which are not available in the regular TSL line.

and i always thought that the center tread reminded me of a radial TSL.  

sizes:
31x11.50x15
33x13.50x15
34x10.50x15
and so on in 16in and 17in rims

so why don't more people use the 34x10.50x15?  only Whitfeild uses those if i remeber correctly.  they are narrow so you would have a better turning radius and only 1in taller than a 33x13.50

I kind've wish I had gotten the 34's rather than the 33x13.50's, but yet I don't. I assume the narrower 34's would dig a lot more than the wider 33's. :-/

Thanks for the compliments guys.  ;D

I got the rear wheel wells cut out some more to make room, and I think I got room for 35's now.  ;D :o Get some pics tonight.

Now, as far as that balljoint spacer goes, I didn't make em, my friend did. He expressed interest in making em if there was a market for em. Have to see what kinda price he could turn em out for for more people. I had to modify mine just a touch, but then again, it was the prototype! 8)

Sorry, what are  LTB's? Your truck looks sick... I just ordered some 1" spacers and gonna get a 3" bl soon and want my kick to look like yours.


I only have about 2" of lift on mine. All susp. I got steel rims to the tune of 2.75" backspacing. I clear the frame with a couple of inches. Thing is really stable! I cut the floorboard a bit, and smashed it back. Clears bya mile now!

LTB's, check out www.tyres1.com. That's where I got em from.

I build a 3" lifted version that corrects the
angle of the A-arm and makes the brakes
work normal, for those that have a proportioning
valve.

It's also offset to rotate the axle toward the
T-case and reduce the driveline angles at the diff

I'd take one too if the price isn't astronomical.

You need to get one of these to get some good flex in the rear!



Let's that balljoint move freely. helps out ALOT. Gives alot more downtravel and really unbinds the susp. Getting TJ front coils, and some long shocks and I'll be done with the rear.


This isn't normally something a guy would say to another guy but "Nice parts!"

I have a buddy here in town who's thinking about making about a half dozen of these.
