the amount of lift you have makes those 36's look small!

Were you in 2WD?
Your front tires are almost clean!

Thats what frenched rear spring hanger will do to you. heh. Yes, I hit the pit in 2wd. I was stuck immediatly. The muck contained a 15 x 15 foot area. I got my shoe pulled off twice. I tried to get out in 2wd, but was going no where. I put it in 4 high and low and shoved that board under my back right tire and still went nowhere.... You can only do so much before you just cant get out.

I got a detroit in the rear and that is why I'm wondering why I couldnt get out. I've come to the conclusion that my rear end was far enough down that my front tires were more off the ground than in the mud. I tried to get out in 4 low and high but I didn't wanna burn anything up or break a u-joint rocking back in forth. (axle wrap is a biatch)

I didnt know if it was just me or if anyone else could see the diff imprint in the mud. =D

If it aint up to your doors it aint deep , back when i was IFS and 33s.

i got out on without assistance, just took 3rd or 4th gear 4WD high with the throttle matted.



nice pictures though , like me your truck is a skyscraper now but i also see full-widths and ~38s in my future, as well as cutting my firewall and tranny tunnel out so i can loose the body lift.

What about off camber ruts with mud up to the windows and over the hood?
