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

Haha, yes. I definately do.

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?
