How do you know when it's to much !!?

....how do your know when your rig may tip over or roll over when going on an incline , side incline etc..?

Even at 45 degree. Being inside already feels like the pickup is going to roll over .

Thoughts ?

This is pretty obvious....a spotter. Dont wheel somewhere where you think you can roll without a good spotter.

After you've wrecked a couple, you'll start to get a feel for it.

You should get on an RTI ramp.

You can creep up the ramp until you reach a point where you can literally push your truck over with your hand .

theres just too many variables at work here.truck height, weight, length. width, suspension, tires, etc. and even more variables within each. now figure in the diff types of terrain and the variables within those. going up leaning right is diff than going down to the right, etc, etc. using a ramp to duplicate diff situations is a good start at getting a feel for it but will never yield real life experiences. be safe and respectable, listen watch and learn and leave your ego at home. know your spotter and get a good understanding of each other. in time you will know when is when and hopfully not denting it up to badly in the mean time. personally i like dents, i have lots of them, theyre cool, badges of trial and error. each has a story. but most of all i like being safe and that includes every one around me

Well you really don't know till it happens. I usually use the pucker factor.

If I feel my butt pucker too much I decide I need to lay back and maybe try a new line.

I'm sure the pucker factor changes from the individual.
