Swampers are soft and wear out fast. They are bias-ply and will ride like hell, especially after sitting. I had a set of used TSL's on my old XJ and had death wobble from hell. Got rid of the tires and got rid of the DW.

However, if it is a traill rig Swampers are bad *****. My buddy has 37 inch boggers on his SOA FJ60 and it is unstoppable in the mud, snow, etc... Another guy had 36 inch TSL SX's on his SA toyota truck, it was spooled and locked, but damn...... Put my XJ on 33 inch BFG muds to shame.
